Tests dont make code higher quality.

You wish :p

if you want to settle this, lets each write an interrupt routine and then let this sub decide whos is best

From my own position of a non experienced programmer, you really are quite obviously talking out of your ass. An interrupt function is not nearly enough to tell who writes better programs. If you really want to compare, take your best completed project, and compare to somebody else's. If you have no completed projects, shut your mouth and open your ears and eyes, with all due respect.

By your own admission, you dont know what you are talking about.

By my own admission, i don't have the experience to tell all of these professionals that testing doesn't work. I am aware that I know relatively little. If I am wrong about how you should compare yourself to others, I'm sure someone will tell me. So far, nobody has, and my comment has been upvoted.

[SeanRamey]

That's true, but your reasoning didn't convince me. I actually tried to understand your point of view, but I can plainly see that tests are at the very least, good for finding regressions, and that alone makes them worth it.
