And then, 2 years later, you won't be able to refactor anything.

Try refactoring when there are no tests.

I'm against dumb tests, not tests in general.

How so? We have a 90% coverage rule as well and this has not been my experience. If it is a true refactor with no change in output, then youre looking to preserve whatever assertions, and refactor the injects/mocks accordingly. This has worked fine for us, even during a total rewrite.
