And such bugs are almost unthinkable at this stage, given the long
pretest -- unless, that is, they were caused by unsafe changes we did
very recently, on one of the occasions we failed to exercise will
power and resist the temptation of fixing ``one more bug''.

But let me turn the table around, Lennart, and ask you: what arguments
will actually convince _you_ to change your mind on this?  Following
Karl Popper, if your answer is ``nothing will change my mind'', then
this is a religious type of argument that we should just stop, because
it has no hope of any agreement whatsoever.
