Traditionally, modal logics are known as non-classical logics. So when you speak of "classical"
modal logic people may well wonder what you mean. Besides, there are many of them. The correct term
is "the language of propositional modal logic".

Nope.

My position is, as I said

Namely, if you are using CbyC it is possible that you can avoid unit tests.

Your statement is logically equivalent to <>(Use-CbyC & []Perform-UT) which is that it is possible
that you use CbyC and you have to perform full unit testing.

Those two statements aren't inconsistent with each other.
