The cat isn’t part of the equation, I gave no opinion on that. The risk of never testing your failure response is much higher than the risk of testing your failure response.

If a test happens to save a cat? Lucky cat. If not, they’ll still have to test it at some other point anyway.

I never remotely commented that backup systems shouldn't be tested. Bizarre.
