Except I'm not saying that at all.
I said it's fine to use unwrap() or expect() if you want script-like default behavior (a developer-centric error message and a quick exit with a bad return code) and if you want something more than that, then use something better than unwrap() or expect().
There's no hypocrisy here. I think anyone should follow that advice. Me, you, a newb to Rust, a Rust veteran, anyone. Same advice.
