It's not sufficient because you could be getting error messages from 
dynamically patched abstractions, or other strange behaviour. For example, 
if I make an [#out window], or an [#out] to which I send "open window", 
then on next load of any [#out] you will see a window open, and on any 
[#out window] you will see a window open, close, and open again. In other 
circumstances, I could get a "no such directory" error everytime I load, 
because I saved [#out] while it was writing a movie, and the directory has 
been renamed or removed or it's just a different machine...
