Duh. I could have looked at that from now til the sun don't shine and

No, that was my mistake. Too late now as the record is gone, but I
could have sworn I had the math exception first. That's what made
me go realize the tracing wasn't off which led me to add .screen.
Sounds like I should have gotten the attribute error first.
Maybe I did and am mis-remembering it. Usually, I don't start keeping
notes at first because I'm not expecting failure.
