Some guy 10 years ago moving our data platform to cloud with massively parallel processing: this will be awesome, cheaper, faster, no drawbacks!
Me 10 years later: I have to explain the stack of reasons, including massively parallel non-deterministic-sequencing processing, to someone without a CS background, why I need to use a tolerance when comparing the results of calculations that have 5 to 500 steps before producing the result.

Encountered a situation today where the test plan was weak (IMHO) due to underlying assumption that everything is OK, and we just need to confirm that expectation.
Assume there are 2 defects, one related to the change and one unrelated. Would your test plan find any problems? If someone claims these 2 defects exist, how do you prove there isn't one?
If your test plan can't cover both of these questions, then your test plan is weak (IMHO).
