Oh yes, it is liberating to say "I don't care if my method crashes 
(raises an exception), it's the caller's fault for messing with my class' 
internals, and he can deal with it". I'm not being sarcastic by the way. 
It really is liberating not to have to deal with unexpected input or 
broken pre-conditions. Just let the caller deal with it!
