I'm "sure" you are right, because you are "sure" that you are right.
And he was "sure" the code should work. Sometimes we are so
"sure" that a possible solution would not work that we do not even
try something. And usually we are right. Almost always. And most
of our code is always right. Except for...                   :-)

Hey, maybe he is getting the ERROR because the name of the file
is "ERROR_FILE"     :-)

All he needs to do is change the name to "NO_ERROR_FILE"    :-)

OK, I am being absurd to say that finding errors is easier if
you are willing to explore ALL the possible causes, readily
sorting them in your mind as to which are more likely. And some
times it pays to just try something we are "sure" will not fix it,
because it fixes it.

How's that for pontification?
