in reply to Testaholics Anonymous (or how I learned to stop worrying and love Test::More)

I think the only danger of adding too many tests is that the test suite will take too long to run, and so will be run less often or slow down development. A big part of the point of automated testing is that the tests are run frequently so bugs are found quickly, before too many changes have been made and while the code that introduced the bug is still fresh in your mind. If the test suite takes more than a few minutes to run, it defeats the point of this.
