No normal user will ever be as rigorous as an automated testsuite. The
normal users might test ten or fifty possibilities: a decent automated
testsuite can test umpty-thousand in the same time, and keep testing
them to make sure they don't break. And the devious evil things the
normal users come up with that trigger bugs go into the testsuite,
too...

(Hopefully you knew this and were being sarcastic: it was somewhat hard
to tell.)
