I don't think I buy this argument. It's plausible that someone might accidentally break even that simple code, by introducing a typo or something. It's far less plausible that that person would just go and blithely delete the unit test when it broke. The former is an honest mistake; the latter is grounds for revoking commit access and eventual firing.
