IMHO these people need to be taken out, shown a good time, maybe a
little wine and dancing.  you know, let off a little steam.

I've had at least one situation where it made perfect sense to use
try/except to handle non-error conditions.  In fact, I had defined a
bunch of exceptions relating to specific conditions, and it also made
sence to define a success condition and catch that rather than handle it
as a special case (different control structure.)
