We'll have to "agree to disagree" then. If you want error silencing by default,
Python is not the language you are looking for.

We can agree to disagree, if you like. But taken to the limit, the Zen you quoted would prevent the try except clause from being used.

No, that is what "unless explicitly silenced" means - you are proposing to silence them *without* an explicit try except clause.
