 		 #174655 - run != tested

James Hinnant said:
project files give at least some indication that they've actually run the thing themselves.

Possibly.

But, as we all know, having just "run" something a couple of times is nowhere near enough to give any sort of confidence that it is suitable for release to The General Public...

Only today I've been fighting a so-called "example" (sic) project where I have found that one of its claimed operating modes cannot possibly ever have worked - because it contains hard-coded options which must not be used in that mode!!
