"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?
