So, you're doing exactly the same thing when you press ^C on an event - what happens is, the event fails to compute. It doesn't go into your log. It doesn't affect your state. It never happened. Packet caused an infinite loop? You never got that packet. And so on. If an event depends on data that's been deleted, that event never happened. But, at the Unix level (which can generate any events it wants), we can generate another event which reports the error. So it's not like things fall silently down the hole, either. (For the same reason, you can also get the stack trace of the infinite loop that was interrupted by your ^C.)
