It, or something equivalent is neccessary for regression testing.
(and it was you who asked also for the tests i run to be part of
 fate. But here you object to it)

You know, not checking side data is not checking it so differences would then not be
detected allowing for unintended changes to be introduced (aka bugs)

If you block this solution without providing another solution
then i will bring this to the technical committee, to seek its guidance
on the way forward.

thx
