This is article not convincing at all. His argument is basically "Most
programmers are sloppy and tend to catch and ignore checked exceptions."

The same programmers that do this will just catch all RuntimeExceptions at
top level, write a log entry and proceed.
That's actually not much better and certainly not correct error handling.
