An old program tape with two clearly visible patches, on sections 250 and 260.

The punch card's error, as manifested by the punches, was patched in just the same way a bike tire is patched.

TDD is not: "Take your unit tests as they are and just write them first"

TDD is: "Be first user of your code. Drive the implementation with tests. Focus on behavoir. Tests are examples of usage."
