... So let's nail some terms down. TDD is not "white box"; it's more like "pre-box". Second, TDD produces "Programmer Tests". XP co-opted the term "Unit Test"...
Phlip, Thanks for your comments. I've got a few remarks now, but the deeper ones will take me longer to think about. I was using 'white-box' in a more informal...
Ron, Thanks for the very thoughtful comments. I'm going to have to spend some time understanding them well before I can say much. But, I did already find one...

Dear Ron, Of course they are design decisions! I wrote the code that way, didn't I? Any fool could plainly see that, as soon as I write the code, the design...
