You snipped out the part where I give other possible explanations also,
so the two statements above do not counterpoise each other of themselves
in my original text. I stand by my whole statement, as intended.

Now, I think I misread Tom's comments. I agree with Tom that the new bug
discovery rate has fallen to zero and that probably indicates that no
new/ground-breaking tests are taking place.
