  11. For those readers who are familiar with the concept of defensive
  12. programming, I for one would like to know under what conditions
  13. should assertions be used and under what conditions should 
  14. defensive code be used?  Both have somewhat similar intentions
  15. but do not, I believe, have the same contexts.
