Because your entire premise here sort of betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept? So we stop vaccinating people here, and require everyone that enters be vaccinated. Problem solved! Except not really, because people here trave

I think unit tests are documentation in the same way that a Dockerfile is... it's not. The tests don't paint the bigger picture, explain why, etc. That said, if you pitched me something like a Jupyter notebook style doc where test
