Answer
Control over returned states allows testing various scenarios reliably.
By controlling the states returned by mocked methods, you can simulate different scenarios and edge cases without relying on actual implementations. For instance, testing how a shopping cart handles an out-of-stock item can be done by making a mock return a 'false' when checking item availability, allowing you to test the handling logic effectively.
