I am dissatisfied with the pairs, two checks on negative cases and two on positive. These alternatives suggest that there are meaningful differences in the test cases. I could not defend the claim that there are such differences. Perhaps their variety is of some value, but I can't formalize such value. Instead, I am inclined to say that having extra tests is a distraction that reduces clarity. -- Tracy Harms (author)
