$ emacs
(grep "grep -nH -e love")
Will always fail. And the user will think "well, I can't find the love
letter she sent me, and thus can't find her address, so I will just give
up," when all along he just forgot to give the filename.
Whereas normally
$ grep love
would hang, waiting for input, so he would know that the relationship
still had a chance, and it was just emacs that was the reason the two
would have lost touch...
