> it's pretty hard to see a test go from failing to passing

Its pretty easy to add a passing test and call it done without checking if it actually fails in the right circumstances, and then you will get a ton of buggy tests.

Most developers don't do the start out at failing and then to passing ritual, especially junior ones who copies code from somewhere instead of knowing what they wrote.
