Because when you expect exception to occur on something like 0.01% of 
cases, and you have 4 or 5 exceptions and the code to test for each 
conditions that cause exceptions is quite long and burried deep inside 
some other code it's much better to do it this way ;). Too bad there's no 
syntactic sugar for doing this kind of try-except loop.
