But, it is how we _observe_ that the test input `cpp` source file we use satisfies the condition to use mmap. If the condition to use mmap changes (e.g., from filesize=16K to filesize=32K), then the test input source file will no longer trigger mmap, yet the `use_source_cache=false` test will keep passing. So, I think having that negative test case, despite being weird, still serves some purpose.

Makes sense (and now that I think about it, I think I used some line of reasoning like this on the original patch that introduced this).
