True but in my case I find it sometimes easier to turn on debugging from my browser on a live app to see what's causing the exception the user is seeing without having to look at logs or anything, so while the user never sees this error in normal processing, I can see the exception when trying to debug and figure out what's going on on a live app. I don't know if this was the original poster's intent though.
