true for normal "coding" too Most look at the data if it falls in line with the "happy path" -- expected results; no code review? No unit tests If there are unit tests; they are poorly written and don't check much never unit check the "edge" and error cases please use a unit test framework

It's very human to only double check that a process is working when you get a weird result. It's also very bad practice, because sometimes your "right" result is due to a bad process and you will be misled. Social scientists (economists) do this kind of asymmetric checking. arxiv.org/pdf/2508.20069
