This is more or less obviously absolute bullshit. Running sid,
testing applications and reporting bugs against those packages does
help testing, especially since reporting these bugs early might even
stop the package from migrating to testing, keeping it release
critical bug free.

Again, the art of testing is to change one thing at a time. You can't do that when all the packages are in flux. Pulling particular packages from sid and testing them in the relative calm of testing is a much more easier way to isolate bugs.
