Solving puzzles with hypothesis

Hypothesis is really a neat library. You can use it to implement stateful testing, which allows you to cover some of the more complex problems that might normally require something like TLA+.

I saw a solution to the water jug problem from the movie Die Hard 3 written in TLA+ and ported it to Hypothesis [0]. It was surprisingly straightforward and easy to read.

I don't understand what benefit the hypothesis library gives here? Why can't you just generate values without hypothesis and call the test function with your values "manually"?
