You were responding directly to a statement about the inherent
limitations of testing, and in that response you made the
statement:

 "Not if all possible outcomes are expected and handled.

  A good design will include handling all possible outcomes.  Anything else is
  just when, not if, something unexpected occurs."

Any reasonable reader could infer that was intended to discuss
testing, in which case the states in the program, as a function
of the data input to the program, are relevant.
