@dandean the real nightmare scenario i have heard about a few times is when it generates 250 tests, and the first 100 are fine, but then it starts sprinkling in more and more backwards asserts and looks-sensible-at-a-glance-but-actually-tautological expressions as it goes along, so the reviewer gets tired and rubber stamps it after reviewing the first 50 or so
