> There is nothing culturally bad in a system issuing an error if there is an error. That's true, but if the error says "PANIC! EVERYTHING IS DOWN" when it's not true, then it's asking for an action that's outsized to the problem. Error messages are fine, but they just need to be classified and responded to correctly, and noisy alerts are typically the ones that are misclassified and demanding attention they (probably) don't deserve.
