Reminds me of the switches we used to put into production machines that could self destroy

if -- well defined case else

Scream

while true do

  Sleep(forever)
Same in

switch- default

Basically every known unknown its better to halt and let humans drive the fragile machine back into safe parameters- or expand the program.

PS: Yes, the else- you know what the else is, its the set of !(-well defined conditions) And its ever changing, if the well-defined if condition changes.
