I mean, if the error says "variable foo is not defined" I don't think it's wise to go "I'm pretty sure it's defined, the compiler is just wrong" 😂

I don’t know, have you ever used JavaScript? I’ve run into some really fucking weird bugs. I’ve also spent hours trying to find the source of an error message only to discover the error message was lying and caused by some other error.
