Are you talking about assert vs Exception at the end of the article?

  Assert usually throws an exception in most environments.

    ...in debug configurations. And compiled out in release configurations. This makes it useless for checking user input. (OK for a library code, when input is validated higher in the stack.)

    > Assert usually throws an exception in most environments. Not really. In C and C++, an assert() calls std:abort. In custom implementations it does whatever you'd like it to do. I've seen assert() call asm('int13;') out of convenience. I never see an exception once.
