Yeah, it simplifies writing and maintaining the test cases.
Also it helps to isolate the tests at runtime. I mean that it might
help to integrate the tests into some higher level testing framework.
I always wondered whether changing some interface might confuse
monitoring or debug output on machines used by misc QA teams.
