Well at most you could say it's error-prone, something that is easier to 
argue. The problem is that forcing it into an error makes quite a number 
of valid uses impossible. An example is a logging application that 
provides you a number of pieces of information (date, time, message, 
etc.) and you get to specify how they should be formatted. Oftentimes 
you'd choose to ignore some data.
