The "I've written it, so it must be OK" mentality is far too prevalent... Feel free to nick the graph and evangelise away! (Actually, the curve should be even steeper I think - the number of "bugs" I have seen that have been introduced because the specification was utter crap is unbelievable...I once wasted 2 months testing a required messaging feature (as well as re-writing proper requirements for it), retesting, etc. - only to be told by the user when demonstrating the finished product that it was actually not required, as it would allow anyone to send messages to anyone else on the system and they didn't want that! It's never been used to this day...) Ah yes – welcome to the often non-existant world of unit testing.
