Agreed. There is a temptation to use assert instead of "if ... raise Exception(msg)" since its shorter and you don't have to write a good error message. But then, that is exactly what is wrong with it: Instead of getting an error that'll point the user to what went wrong, there is just AssertionError: you are out of luck.
