I've seen Ward Cunningham and Kent Beck, both widely regarded as the inventors of TDD, code, and neither of them followed strict?"outside-in" semantics. It must at least be possible that you could create a simple design without doing that.?

Your probability increases that you develop the wrong thing. :)
On the original point, if your guards are mostly about null, then you
can annotate your stuff with @Nonnull (or similar if your language
supports it). This then makes the contract more like a strong type
system and violations can be likely caught by static analysis tools.
