Aha. A common misconception.
"I can't write tests as I can't test every eventuality".
Sorry. That's just intellectually corrupt.
Much better is:
"I can test some of the most common things, to make sure they work."
Then later.
"Ooh. My tests caught a nasty bug. I'm glad I had those. Perhaps I
should add a few more for those dusty corners".
