FWIW, I wouldn't object to a test that somehow exercised the specific
functionality of the view; I was just dubious that there was any value
in the sort of test you were suggesting. We found ways to exercise the
table-counter stuff in a sufficiently reproducible way for the stats
test --- can you do something similar here?
