Examining every line of code is not enogh to prove it will not fail if
that line was not executed by some reason. Some statements of calls
can be avoided by passing by cycles and conditional operators.

If you realy care of the quality of strutured testing you should look
into something more relyable than Statmenet coverage. I would
recommend to stick to something no worse than Condition coverage.
