Sorry but that is bullshit. What can be the benefit of not trying to 
clean things up ?

Do you really consider that corrupted files, client waiting forever at 
the other end of a connection or any similar stuff is a good thing ? 
Because that is what you are advocating.

I may sound good on the paper, but in real life, system DOES fail. It 
isn't a question of if, but a question of when and how often, and what 
to do about it.
