Since you'll do the same thing regardless of whether the tests are 
nested or not, I don't think you should object to the proposal. "I'm 
against it because it will make no difference to me" is not what I call 
a good objection.

Some people might prefer to cut down their false positives by splitting 
the tests into sub-directories. You can still get all the false 
positives you want by writing

grep -r -I parrot *

instead of 

grep -I parrot *
