I do not listen to purists or academics who use words like, "valid." I observe the existence of familiar patterns of software-design but do not begin my work by "selecting a design pattern." I want to design code such that it can be tested throughout its construction, but I don't look to anyone's textbook or seminar to validate what I know they're referring to when they say, "test-driven development."

Frankly, what you are saying is complicated. So complicated that I don't understand it, and so complicated that I daresay you don't understand it either. Complexity is your mortal enemy: complexity of your code, yes, but also complexity of your thoughts. You have a target over there; one of several. You have to choose the best one, locate it precisely, and hit it square. That's it. That's all. It seems to me that you have "thinked yourself" into immobility.
