@IvovanderVeeken Failing fast can be more efficient. Like early exit. The alternative is to follow a fixed order of steps regardless, perhaps producing results that may need to be discarded later. The latter could be cleaner. If the fail is rare one might prefer the clean approach. Like exceptions (as an error handling mechanism) are expensive but you don't care because they are, well, exceptional.
