# [Red 38 runs straight. Green on the same test](https://thesquarewire.com/stories/red-38-times-green-on-the-same-test/)

Neither fault breaks the site for an ordinary visitor, but anyone who trusts a green light on software they depend on is trusting a light that, here, was set to stay green whatever that test found.
