I didn't say that there isn't value in "hello world" or println-debugging style print. The point is that both should go to stderr rather than stdout (and then panic if they fail). But for stdout, which is the channel for output and not for logging, the default should be to require error handling.

Consider something as trivial as `cat foo >readonly_file` to see why.
