yes, i think i understand. you are saying that some code should be ok to 
compile, even if it will always crash at run time.
would it seem very strange if i did not agree? because i do not, even 
though i have not ever written a compiler. perhaps this is why?

yes, here we do agree. a large part of my code is obviously silly, and 
yet there are not many run time exceptions. atleast not after i have run 
the test cases.
