I am not a TDD zealot, nor even a TDD advocate. (I haven't written enough stuff that way to know whether it works well for me, never mind anyone else.) I was just pointing out some flaws in your reasoning. I don't think I'm the one being religious here.

I don't agree with jmathes's diagnosis that you're trolling; I'm sure you really believe that I am a fanatical TDD devotee who thinks TDD is the right thing for every situation, that I regard everything to do with it as sacred and holy, and that I think TDD can make up for lousy programmers and lousy code. Since none of that bears any resemblance to the truth, however, I'm going to leave it here, and just suggest that you go back and re-read what I said, and see whether you can find any actual evidence of zealotry there. Then, when you don't, you might want to work out what's got your zealotry detectors so oversensitive and made you draw such stupid conclusions, and maybe think about fixing whatever it is.

Anyway: enough.
