  One might write quick one-off test programs, utilities meant to
  solve a specific, temporary problem, throwaway scripts or early
  prototypes where the damage by the time lost to write perfect
  checks for each and every return code and structure the program
  around this might outweigh the possible damage by such errors.

  Many error checks are added to make error situations managable to
  non-programming users of a program. When a programmer writes code
  for his own use, he can sometimes tolerate more cryptic raw error
  messages as they come from the runtime or consciously decide to
  take some risks when he himself would be their only victim.
