Having read this entire exchange I can say with absolute certainty that I did not understand it at all. I did however enjoy it very much.
It's like asking which is "worse", saying "England is a country in Africa" (false) or "Love ate a circle" (meaningless)? Both are "bad" in their own way.
But undefined behavior can certainly be inconvenient, because it is insufficient to determine whether a sentence is "well-formed", i.e. grammatically correct, in order for it to be meaningful, as some grammatically correct sentences are nonsensical. But it's certainly not catastrophic, because mathematics has a lot of undefined sentences, and we still use it successfully.
