+    ## Context
+
+    Metaclass and dynamic test method generation is bad (in principle) for lack of test clarity.
+    In this case, dynamic was already in place within a single method which prevent proper test result output:
+    * print would always show up
+    * if we remove print, when method failed we didn't know which model_admin was bad
+
+    Creating a method per model_admin allows result output to be controlled by the testrunner (verbosity 1 displays only dots,
+    2 will display each model_admin as method) and parseable by test result tools
