Or write a test or tests to verify they are the same.

How would you do that exactly?  I can see verifying that they return the same rows given existing data, but not that this would be true with different data.

Did you mean comparing the returned results, writing some view-specific tests on a case-by-case basis, or something way way better that I'm not grasping?

Thanks!
