Ignoring errors silently, regardless of intention, can't be done with exceptions.

    try {
        // do stuff
    } except( Exception e) {  
        // ignore
    }

and yes, I've seen it often.

I will agree that it's not possible to accidentally ignore an exception, since it will likely crash your application.

That's not silent, it's screaming in the code.

that's only if you find it in the code

I thought we were talking about code though.
