It only answers the "what" (i.e. the exception was automatically caught), without addressing the "why" (i.e. because there wasn't anything else useful the interpreter could do with it) "Suppressed" also says more than "caught" does, since "caught and reraised the exception" makes sense, while "suppressed and reraised the exception" contradicts itself.
