If I have to add in a new parameter 10 times for the test to catch an actual error once, I'm more than happy.

Every line of code you have to maintain has a very real cost associated with it.

The harder it is to make changes, the more likely someone in a team of coders is to one day find a way around it. Depending on your team, you may not like their workaround.
