You are writing a client for an API, to be deployed at scale. The API returns objects of type A or B, but occasionally returns something else - not as an error, it's just what happens to be in the server's database. You'd still write code and test-cases to deal with the not-A-or-B instances, right?

But this is not an API and it is a disorder so equivalent to an error. But who says you wouldn't want to handle it in either case?

I've seen this one before. It was called the something something solution and was very popular in Germany a while back.
