     Sure.  So one looks at it.  "Nope, not a problem.  I will insert
a comment about it." or measure, cut, nail, and test as the case may
be.

     I do not like doing that for that reason.

     I read a story about one program where the programmer had
suppressed error messages.  The end user was complaining that the
program did not work, got the source, and found that there was no way
the code could have compiled.
