re: unittests
Jun. 28th, 2006 04:23 pmI have a vague feeling that the Ancient Greeks, with their theorems and lemmas, were considered as lowly, suspecting and mistrusting by the Ancient Egyptians Mathematicians, as in our times people that insist on having unittest on any executable line of code.
To make things clearer: of course unittest are not exactly proofs. But they are great counterexamples, and they at least prove that something does not work. We are probably half-way into the enlightement era, which is 1500 years ahead.
