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 *
