If I have somehow managed to imply I think we should junk the entire
entire current testing infrastructure and force every tester in the
world to move over to an image base testing system whether they want to
or not, then "no I didn't mean that".
But I figured that would be obvious...

this is the start of the right attitude I think - when your testing

It's not unheard of for module authors to complain that the automated
test reports posted on testers.cpan.org FAIL modules that ought to PASS.
Tonight, I wish to make the opposite complaint: that one of my own
