You're both wrong. ;) Or actually, you're both right...
There's a section with the following heading:
"Are Assertions Enabled in Production Code?"
First sentence of that section:
"This is entirely situational."
One point for "John agrees with Walter."
HOWEVER, Walter has also expressed that a program should never continue
after an assert failure. The concluding text of the same section:
"[...rather interesting counterexample from NASA/Mars...] The
question of whether it is better to stop or keep going when an internal
bug is detected is not a straightforward one to answer."
One point for "John disagrees with Walter."
