It is not the code that fails the assertion, it is the asserted proposition that has not be satisfied by the axioms in the program as it has been formulated in the context. It does not mean "can not be satisfied", but "has not been satisfied".

Don't you agree, that a program that throws AssertError in non -release* build is broken?
