==_Appeal To Importance_==

This needs to land this right now to fix a bug / make a milestone / my hair’s on fire; can't you understand that there's no time for tests??

==_Sufficient Coverage Argument_==

This CL already has at least one unit test, and therefore should be considered reasonably tested.

==_Argument From Historical Laziness_==

This other pre-existing system doesn’t have tests, so my similar new system shouldn’t need any either!

==_Missing Infrastructure Argument_==

There’s no good way to write these tests easily, so I shouldn’t need to write them.

==_Just a Refactoring Argument_==

All functionality in this patch is already entirely covered by preexisting tests. Trust me.

==_Promise Of Future Work_==

I pinky-swear that I will write a follow-up CL that adds tests, just as soon as I fix these other things first...
