Any exception at all is obviously the author's fault. I propose that 
Python stops wasting our time with debugging information and tracebacks, 
and on any error, simply prints the following message then dump core:


PEBKACError: Programmer is an idiot. You did something wrong, you moron, 
turn your computer off, you're obviously too stupid to program. 


That will certainly improve productivity.
