Some idle thoughts, loosely inspired by this thread:
- Writing good tests is harder than writing good code.
- Despite this, the work of test writing is lower prestige in our industry than the work of coding.
- Production pressure always pushes away from testing.

@NavinFS@maiab also, you can't just draw 20A continuously even on a dedicated 20A circuit with a 20A receptacle: the 16A limit comes from the 125% load derating for continuous loads like an EVSE.
@NavinFS@maiab nearly all outlets in homes are NEMA 5-15Rs, and the most common plugs are NEMA 5-15Ps, which, as the name suggests, are rated for 15 amps.
you see 20 amp breakers commonly because the plugs and lights for a room are on the same circuit.
