+
+How often do you see comments like "This should never happen" in a software codebase?
+
+If that's true, why is it there?
+
+If it truly should never happen, the additional code only adds more noise and distracts from the code that is run.
+
+You can add a test that checks a method isn't called, but what value does this offer?
+
+If it doesn't happen or some code isn't run, remove it and keep it as simple, clean and easy to understand as possible.
