If not run in test mode, then the whole of reality would crash with a 'unexpectedTerminationException', every time someone did something dumb.

You know, something that the consultants are showing God: "So, this is the feeling we're going for, what do you think?... Oh that, that's Rwanda, just a small glitch -- it's already fixed in the trunk. Don't touch that! Outer space is not implemented yet, we're having some problems with the infiniteness you requested: it's bigger than we assumed." I’m thinking we’re just a mock-up.
