Not to mention that you can sometimes look at awfully trivial code three times and only see the obvious bug in that code the fourth time you put an eye on it a good night's sleep later. Expecting code paths in a nested if statement with nine conditions that are not worth testing due to obvious triviality, is pretty hubristic.
