The purpose of a test is to reliably fail if the functionality it tests
is broken.  Your change turns my test from one that is fairly certain to
fail if the timeout functionality is broken to one that has a reasonable
chance of passing regardless.  What's more, you justify the change with
a logical argument so fallacious that you _still_ refuse to explain it.
All that just to save yourself a couple of seconds once in a while, even
after I showed you how to save much more than two seconds simply by
enabling parallelism.  Please revert, or I will.
