That's not entirely true, e.g. you can do fuzz testing or constrained random testing. Maybe you aren't including those in "testing"?
I was mostly thinking about hand-written tests and manual test procedures, but yeah, fuzzing can help you catch issues as well and you don't necessarily consciously know about the test cases you put into the system in that case.
Then again, you have to design the fuzzing input consciously so I guess that's kind of a "what you can think about"-limitation.
Good point regardless, thanks
