747s aren't smart enough to behave differently when they do or don't have passengers. If the AI might be behaving differently when it's boxed then unboxed, then any boxed test isn't "real"; unboxed tests "have passengers".
Sure, but that's no reason not to test. It's a reason to try and make the tests realistic.
The point is not that we shouldn't test. The point is that tests alone don't give us the assurances we need.
