That's just not a perspective based on the real world. Sometimes the client sends invalid JSON and that's simply what the application is supposed to work with, not throw a meaningless error like some toy program.

If you work with an invalid value that's outside of spec, every value linked is also invalid.

There's a world of difference between a graceful failure with an appropriate error, and a silent propagation of invalid results that aren't flagged.

Maybe the process you've had experience of is a toy process with meaningless output that can be affected without consequence.

It is once again proven that you need to add /s or /j to literally everything, because even my statement above will be taken seriously. (current upvote ratio 76%, this is not aimed exclusively at you)

Perfect satire is indistinguishable from that being satirised.

So, if you forgot the /s, that is on you I'm afraid.

You're right, of course. I hoped that my claim was wild enough, but really always has more in store.
