I challenged PJ on the title during the session, so he challenged me back to think of a better one.
Based on the content of the session, I suggest "Can't write the tests first? Bullshit!"
My concern about the original title was that it seemed to be promising too much to people with a shedload of pre-existing legacy code. The session was much more about righting tests for new code being written or refactored (which might be being added to a big ball of legacy mud), not about back-fitting tests to code which already exists and isn't about to get changed any time soon.
