Peter mentioned VA, whose Set's swallow nil's. Perhaps that's the missing link in the communication here. Igor is talking about *Squeak*, which does not swallow nil's, it throws an error. So, to "fix consequences instead of causes" in the case of Squeak, the software would have to be doing something like: [ #(1 2 3 nil) asSet ] on: Error do: [ : err | "ignore it!" ] which, deserves to break if it exists at all..

peter snippets was just a dull example. Peter mentioned that some people fix consequences instead of causes....
