That's probably overplaying your hand a little bit (and it sounds a
bit catty, too). Some testing got done and it had some value. It
just wasn't enough to make Peter feel like it was worthwhile. That
doesn't mean that no testing got done and that it had no value, or
that the same thing would happen this time. I'm as skeptical about
this whole rush-out-an-alpha business as anyone, but I think that
skepticism has to yield to contrary evidence, and people saying "I
would test if..." is legitimate contrary evidence.
