And if the code (or "method" -- I need to get my OOOrthodoxy checked) isn't called when you use the program, it probably doesn't matter. If you're writing code you don't use, you've got a more serious problem.

If code isn't called when you routinely use the program, you won't initially find the bug. When the rare case or corner case occurs, though, it'll be a pain in the rear to track that bug down.
