Hi Chris, The use of having a log is for someone to identify what went wrong, why went wrong, where it went wrong etc. For instance let's say there was a problem in deploying a cartridge. Showing a log like "error occurred while deploying a cartridge" is not use full very much. He wants to know what's wrong with the cartridge, in which line of the code it throws the error etc.
Mostly developers are the ones who analyze the logs. So sufficient logs should be there to identify and fix problem. However I am OK with your suggestion for some extend that there should be a reasonable limit of error logs. Touched, not typed. Erroneous words are a feature, not a typo.
