Coworker said patch Tuesday is a myth, now I'm split

Last week in Austin, a senior admin told me patching on the second Tuesday is for people who don't test first. He runs a 200 server fleet and only pushes updates after 10 days of community feedback, zero critical incidents in 3 years. I always thought same day patching was non negotiable, but his reasoning about broken patches like that bad Cisco update last March hit different. Now I wonder if the whole schedule is more about compliance than real security, or if he's just lucky so far. Anyone else lean toward delayed patching with heavy testing, or am I overthinking a basic process?
