This is the other example which triggered my safety vs speed email.
WE provide the basic plist, so it should work period. I can see two
reason why it couldn't. First, the download/installation went terribly
wrong, in case this probably isn't the only thing broken and everything
goes bananas. Second, the developer (or user) has tinkered/changed our
plist, which he obviously did wrong. Why then save his *ss? He should
simply repair/adjust the plist before shipping his app. I don't see a
reason for the error checking code. To black and white?
