Except that it shouldn't be able to stop the application. The reason for this is that Unit Testing on this stuff should still work, and you can't always anticipate what your users do with your libraries. If a user does something wrong in a third party module to your application, and pass a wrong opbject to one of your utility classes, when we do not want the whole application to stop immediately, as it might be just a sub-part of you application which is very possible to ignore for the full working of your application. This is why I first suggested an exception, so that the application can continue. Although in *my* opinion the application just should blow up, other people disagree with me here.
