Ahh.  But it has, if setUp() is running code from the module that is
being tested.  In this case the code that is in the module that setUp()
is running is code that needs to run prior to every test.  But it's
still code under test from the module being tested.

Unless setUp() is using some of the code being tested to prepare for
the tests.
