Hi, in my opinion messages in Mathematica are generated during the evaluation process to give some kind of "meta"-information about 1) what is going wrong or 2) what you need to know to check by yourself to know of the returned result is correct. I would like to compare this information with the concepts of "errors" and "warnings" produced by a compiler during the process to produce a program. Seeing "Mathematica messages" in this flavour any input which produces a message should be seen as wrong or not working properly and therefore be modified as long as there are no messages left at all. I therefore do not see a reason yet why I should use messages outside the development phase of a project. Can you provide me with one?
