This module is not satire, and the existence of this module does not indicate anything about the quality of programmers of this generation.

For those who think so, try doing some machine learning, data handling code, or even web crawlers. Error tolerance is much needed.

For scientific experiments, sometimes the results of the experiment is still valuable even if there's a trivial bug (malformed row). A partially-correct execution is still more information than an unhandled exception causing an early exit.
