+Category 1: NSError for "expected" problems 
+===========================================
+Characterized by: File access problem, network access problems.... User should be informed. Problems which cannot be eliminated during development.
+
+- Writing a group to a file, with file access problems.
+
+
+Category 2: NSException for "unexpected" problems - no recovery 
+===============================================================
+Characterized by: Fatal errors. Wrong use of API. Application should rightfully crash. These problems should be eliminated during development. Feedback should be fast and direct in the form of an exception. The 
+application should not attempt to catch the exception.
+
+- Indexing out of bounds.
+- Passing illegal parameter type.
+- Writing to read only table (working assumption).
+- Core library exceptions.
+
+
+Category 3: NSException for "unexpected" problems - with recovery
+=================================================================
+Technically possible with ARC safe exceptions flag. Leads to excessive release code (automatically inserted). Should not be needed.
