Oh, good lord! Do you program in the real world?
In the real world, remote CORBA servers go down.
In the real world, remote databse servers go down.
Most of the time they don't, so when they do, you
throw an exception when you lose connectivity so
you don't blithely ignore the problem, but you also
don't litter every step of the way with checks.
