However, speaking as a retired pro, I would consider a program crashing 
on ANY bad input to be a bug << a failure of its "input editing" >>

It is (should be) the responsibility of a program to check incoming data 
and reject any data that is bad (preferably with a meaningful error 
message). Programs should NOT trust that they will always be given good 
input.
