It does make me wonder why it would take you hours to do that though... was the code that complicated to test for some reason?

Yes, it was. It used a very obscure language feature of JavaScript. I won't get more detailed than that.

I still don't understand why that would cause testing to be hard, but since you won't explain it... I guess it leaves me thinking the problem might not be entirely them.
