If you're testing a NewsStoryCard that includes a HeadlineSnippet with two bits of text, it doesn't matter if HeadlineSnippet changes its implementation from two Text elements in a Column to a single Text element with a newline, for example. That sort of change ideally wouldn't break HeadlineCard tests.
