Scenario:
1.  You want to process 500 EPD rows with analysis over a weekend.
2.  The 3rd row has a mistake in it (missing a closing quote on a comment).

You want it to stop?

For a tool designed for batch processing and where each individual record is a
completely independent unit of work, stopping is asinine.

IMO-YMMV.
