You have a point, I should have specified better what I meant.

I tried running pure Debian testing too, but, in my case, given the way 
I use my system, I soon realized that testing wasn't enough for me and I 
found that APT pinning was there just for strange peolple like me who 
need some bit more than what a pure Debian testing has to offer.

So, in my case a pure Debian testing is not enough and it seems I'm not 
alone, since someone out there invented APT pinning and someone even 
uses it.

Let's rephrase that:

Sometimes it happens some packages get automatically removed from Debian 
testing (for example because of rc-bugs), so if you ever need one of 
those packages that have been removed, you can only wait for it to be 
added back, or mix stable/unstable (or install from upstream, but that's 
even worse).

In other words, assuming "completeness" means having all the packaged 
software that others Debian flavors have, sometimes it happens Debian 
testing isn't complete. It happened to me in the past, so I mixed in 
stable and sid.
