What do you call dead code that never was alive?
An exception, caught, handled, tested, handled again, rethrown and handled again. But never thrown in the first place. At least three instances of this pattern.
How much (mis)comprehension and maintenance time went into this over the years?

2 of the 3 seem to be adapted copies of the third. Can't figure out right now which is which of them. But I'm gonna triple-check this tomorrow and then deal with them with a blowtorch.
