If one is aware that something is asserting quite often, why 
don't they just fix the bug that causes that assertion to fail?

Furthermore, how often have we cursed about games that hung up 
with a blackscreen and didn't let us close them by any mean other 
than logging off? If they just crashed, we'd not have run into 
such problems.
