Dawid Weiss commented on LUCENE-5084:
-------------------------------------

bq. Randomized test cases with uniform data distributions are not likely to 
test exceptional situations in the high bits such as long high bit words with 
all zeros or all ones.

The exceptional situations you can test separately. I am constantly surprised 
at how many exceptional conditions in pretty much regular code one can 
overlook. Like Adrien said -- it doesn't hurt to be in there and if it catches 
something, it's even better.
