That's true, but the current behavior can mask bugs
unexpectedly.  For example, if you ask someone if the
brakes are engaged, and they discover that the brakes have
crumbled to dust and fallen off, you probably want a
different answer than "no". :)

getattr() (now) only catches AttributeErrors, so there's 
a consistency thing too.

Anyway, it's your call :)
