I don't see this as half baked error checking, but rather, as error
reporting during a "half baked conversion". I prefer to know when the
converter encounters something it doesn't understand, rather than having
it silently enter nulls into the db.
It was the original error reporting that helped me find this bug, I
suppose.
Kind regards,
