I did not claim anything about "better" - I just said that if you don't want to deal with errors, you unwrap it - it's the go-to behavior if you just want to make it build. That is what the language makes "much easier than the alternative". If you want to make it robust, you can go through the unwraps and handle them with the care they deserve. I agree about needing to have care about it, but I was fighting the claim that the poor error handling is an issue with the language.
