Depending on the context, I fully agree (most stuff here is about web development so in general shipping a broken web page is fine - it wont cause too much damage even when it happens, and it can be fixed quickly).

In Safety Critical Software however, I hope tests have been written for every single change, and everything has been checked over and over again. Tests become a lot more valuable and simply having to re write them, may make you think of problems you have introduced in the code.
