Nor am I suggesting he does. I'm saying that merging incorrect code to master might increase velocity if two conditions are fulfilled 1) that people are helped by building on top of the code merged to master and 2) that an incorrect master does NOT create issues that slows down the velocity more than 1) helps.

And that second bit is the case, for example, if the master branch is used to create data (document files, for example) that would be useless or require manual salvaging, if the master branch is broken.
