Because at sufficient scale, exceptions are rendered obsolete because they trend toward zero impact.

From what I've seen, the exceptions have more impact than the norm.

But I mean, mathematically speaking, on a large enough scale, the impact of any exception is meaningless because as a value approaches infinity, it also approaches its limit, or in this case, the average.
