Beta testing is NOT where you clean up programming screwups and start applying logical thought. you catch those in unit and system testing BEFORE implementation.

Belts in their current state = useless. I've stopped bothering.
In general, you should expect to run into bugs whenever using any piece of beta software. These bugs may range in severity, from minor features that don't work to problems that cause your computer to crash. Before choosing to use a piece of beta software, you should decide whether the benefit of new features in a beta program outweighs the risk of program instability.
