While I acknowledge the points raised thus far (that being why I haven't
responded, since I wouldn't have had much to say but "That's fair"), I
don't think this is entirely right. You snipped out the part where I
pointed out that as far as I can tell, the problems which I had are the
same ones which I'd have had from just tracking testing anyway. If
that's correct, then the fact of tracking both will have had nothing to
do with my having encountered those problems.
