I'm not arguing against test cases -- it's obviously better to have
test cases. However, even if we do have them, there's no way of knowing
that we are testing all documented aspects. In fact, I doubt we have
such exhaustive tests right now.

I know that the docs are not perfect, but they are still an important
milestone, and a relevant one in the vast majority of cases. It's been
important (for me at least) to know the level of completeness versus
documented behavior for the common controls. This is useful today, and
it's a fraction of the effort compared to writing tests. I think they
are complementary.
