People write tests.

Sometime people forget to put an assert at the end of the test and those tests always pass.

I have called these AA tests. Because "bleeding stupid" tests is unlikely to make a good blog post? I dont get why this is referred to as a pattern / anti-pattern.

Face-palm is not a pattern.
