I agree http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2010/02/postels-law-not-sure-... . Correct code remains correct under various compositions and transformations (that may happen in the future). Code that is working only due to pity often does not have this property. Some Netflix style chaos-monkey that turns on and off strictness during testing would be cool.
