To be fair to the crony, this sort of thing happens even to

Similar things used to happen in the film days. Like "I seem to
have more
than forty frames on this roll of ...ah damn!"

Been there, done THAT!
I'm sure we all have done the same thing in the digital age. Shoot
the first 5 or 10 or 20 frames (are they still frames?) then go to
chimp only to see the single line of white text that you hope no one
else saw "No Card in the Camera". Pray that no one asks for a print
of that "great shot you took of my family at the game".
AFAIK, none of my Pentax DSLRs will allow shutter activation without a
card in the camera. Plus, I find it easiest to keep a card in the
camera all the time. Take one card out, put another card in, format it
so it's ready for use.
And since I usually check the histogram on the first shot in any
series, it rarely takes me more than one or two frames to figure out
if I'm screwing something else up. Sometimes it's a puzzle just how
I'm screwing up, but I almost always know that something is not right
by the first frame.
Most times it's the Mode dial on the left has been bumped from my
preferred AV setting to TAV and I haven't got the exposure I want.
There's a custom setting to allow shutter release without a card in the
camera.
