Right now blogs.xobni.com is giving me the output from phpinfo()...

We were moving servers. Sorry, should be working now.

Commenting out the exception throwing code would likely lead to even more difficult-to-understand bugs (something after the now-commented-out throw would probably fail, possibly corrupting data). It's better to fail early.

Totally a joke -- sorry for confusion!

Uh huh. I'll just revert that last commit of yours, and we won't tell anyone.

Sorry, I guess that should have been obvious to me given the rest of what you said.

I can't quite put into words how much I love your bug cost/time to find graph.
