Writing unit tests for my random number generation library continues to be difficult. My tests are failing because the bias in the distribution exceeds my expectations, but I'm wondering whether I should just repeat the test more times and permit it to exceed expectations some of the time (as long as it does it symmetrically/rarely/etc. My gut tells me that second-order expectations aren't any better than first-order expectations, but another part of me disagrees.
Thinking more as I write this (writing is thinking): second-order tests can at least give me better info to work with towards fixing things I think! So maybe I'll invest in them.

Wolverine stabbing an ICE agent through the skull and another ICE agent through the chest.
Ghost Rider on his motorcycle dragging one ICE agent along the ground and forcing his head to the pavement while he holds a second ICE agent by the neck. Text reads: “THE RIDER APPEARED FLYING DOWN THE STREET AT 90 MPH, GRABBING THE AGENT BY THE NECK. THE SOUND OF HIS SPINE SNAPPING COULD BE HEARD DOWN THE BLOCK. OLIC THE SECOND GUY... THE RIDER PRESSED HIS HEAD INTO THE STREET, GRINDING IT DOWN LIKE A BELT SANDER. THEY FOUND HIM A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, JUST HALF THE HELMET LEFT, AND WHAT WAS I…
