One of the principles of DbC is that assertion
checking is not input checking. Rather, a programmer
is checking the programmers' assertions, including
his own. One flavor of assertion is called assumption.

Conditions imply a proof obligation.

Whether or not a car is stopped by a computer should not
by any means depend on whether or not the assertions
are checked in running code. That's not the intent
of using them.
