Anecdote. Probably invented by people who want to sell fancy
design tools and Ada compilers :-) Who says an error found by
users is the result of design problems and is expensive to fix?
Maybe it's just an off-by-one error that's causing an exception
to be thrown and the solution is to rejigger the loop a bit.
