On Error Resume Next got me better grades.
Circa 1998 ish I had to take a "Software Engineering" course in college. We had to use Visual Basic for our silly application, and only one of the 6 people in the group had any experience with VB at all.
The project grading rules dictated that each program crash (which typically was some modal dialog with a system error and an OK button) during final demo was an entire letter-grade reduction (!!).
Enter On Error Resume Next. No crashes, just keep going! Software doesn't exactly work properly/to specs? Whatever, that "costs less" points than crashing =)
