There are many cases like that, at least in my experience.  Of course, I 
write business apps, not medical systems or rocket guidance, so my 
tolerance for not dotting every i and crossing every t is probably 
higher than others, but at the same time, I certainly wouldn't want to 
be forced to check for conditions that aren't likely to ever occur.  The 
extra expense in development time isn't worth the risk of not doing the 
checks.  That cost vs risk analysis will be different for everyone.
