"Show me the incentives, and I will show you the outcomes" - Charlie Munger
I once worked in a shop where we had high and inflexible test coverage requirements. Developers eventually figured out that you could run a bunch of random scenarios and then `assert true` in the finally clause of the exception handler. Eventually you'd be guaranteed to cover enough to get by that gate.
Pushing back on that practice led to a management fight about feature velocity and externally publicized deadlines.
