I usually want things to just work. If an arbitrary value is used, and it is not brought to my attention, I may not be producing the answer that I really want. Not returning an error gives me a false sense of security.
That's precisely my point. As long as the software gives an answer, you can't suspect a problem somewhere. Do we want Calc to give an answer even if it's wrong and make users angry because Calc gave a wrong value? Or prevent him to spot a corner case (like #DIV/0! does)? Of course, it's much easier to say that it could break compatibility and continue to give a nice politically correct value (1). Rob, you talked about the 1900 leap year, it's exactly the same: should we continue providing a questionable value for the sake of compatibility with old files (even if there are very few of them with this situation) and compatibility with MS Office?
