After the bug is fixed and the app is debugged, there's no need 
to keep those assertions.
The release switch will do the job. Anyway, what's that got to do 
with the topic of this thread?

not really, at least that's not what I meant. (well, in theory 
one could write enough assertions to detect any error, but... 
nvm, I agree with you). What I meant were apps misbehaving 
because of obviously ignored errors.
