Sometimes error messages are invisible because they happen after the

Satan himself, in a sermon preached from the pulpit of North Berwick
church, comforted his many servants by assuring them that no harm could
befall them "sa lang as their hair wes on, an sould newir latt ane teir
fall fra thair ene".                    - J G Frazer, The Golden Bough
