I understand it just fine.  And it's disappointing that you
chose to respond not on the substance of the subject but
instead just to make an ad hominem remark.  A surefire way
of telling that someone is selling programming snake oil
is when they start saying things like "you just don't get
it."

Incidentally, TDD != writing tested code.  And I understand
that too.  But go ahead and make some more ad hominem remarks
if it makes you feel better.
