No need for the snarky comment. If I am wrong, that is fine.

Of course Joe Armstrong could explain what I meant, but in a much better way: https://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2003-March/007... (edit: see the "Why was error handling designed like this?" part for reference)

My personal interpretation is that systems must be able to handle crashing processes gracefully. There is no benefit in letting processes crash just for the sake of it.
