This is indicated by the key word "insofar".
Actually, it isn't. Let's take my look at that statement again using the insofar definition.
Quote:
Having the test compiled out in a release build is okay, to such extent that the test is not required as it is expected to always pass.
I read that as:
Quote:
Having the test compiled out in a release build is okay<comma> to such extent that the test is not required as it is expected to always pass.
And so I infer:
Quote:
Having the test compiled out in a release build is okay<comma> it can be ascertained that the test is not required as it is expected to always pass.
And so I read that as affirming the use of `assert' to catch some bizarre condition that violates that expectation.

Basically, you repeated my mistake of not reading carefully, except that this time it is not about code, but about prose.
*shrug*
You say I read that wrong; so be it. If I read that wrong and you didn't "just" say "the test compiled out in a release build is okay" in the context of the use of `assert' in question the rest of my response relating to your odd and "wrong" opinion is not relevant because I framed my interpretation of the other statements on those two.

And how wonderful it is that code isn't so open to interpretation.
