But no-one manually raises NameError, so Ken's example wouldn't work with "real" NameErrors. If Ken was intending to present a use case that did involve manually-raised NameError exceptions, then he needs to show the context to demonstrate why manually raising NameError rather than a custom exception (which can obviously work like he wants) is necessary.
