You mean having a spec -- however detailed or whether written or
not -- for how the program is to behave? Of course.
Despite all one's thought on the matter, errors can still happen.
Read up about the Ariane 5 launch that went wrong. It was due to code
reuse from the Ariane 4. An assumption that was true on the Ariane 4
was not true about the Ariane 5, and Bad Stuff happened.

It almost always is. Since it is the exceptional case, let it be
handled exceptionally.
