And so you should.  Just because an error condition does not have a
clean resolution, does not mean it should not be reported.  Or, for
that matter, that one should not be assisted in figuring out whether
an operation was successful ot not.

I don't think Erik is encouraging not reporting error conditions, I
hope he's merely pointing out that an unreasonable amount of code
doesn't.  It's easy to confude cause and effect, in these situations.
