Because it says, your program will still give you a value, but it may not be what you intended, and you can't always tell, and that may propagate it's way down through a whole bunch of other computations before it causes some catastrophic failure.
因爲(wèi)這意味著，你的程序依然會(huì)返廻一個(gè)值，但是這個(gè)值可能不是你想要的，你可能還分辨不出來(lái)，而且這種情況會(huì)傳播,結(jié)果會(huì)沿著正果計(jì)算過(guò)程傳播下去,直到産生一個(gè)災(zāi)難性的錯(cuò)誤。
