At the core, the uppermost reason for not testing is a mindset that everything leaders have ordered has been done exactly as prescribed. This is a remarkably naive presumption, as the history of technology, and construction in particular, is packed with examples of workers who upon finding a tool or design to be inefficient have, in effect, said, I spit on your stupid ideas, and switched parts around or kept modifying them until they fit. Sometimes they told the designer or engineer about it; sometimes they did not.
