Because building secret magic into your program is sloppy, and could easily bite him in the rear in time.
Quick example: he adds the print statement. Someone inherits the code. They do some clean-up, kill the print statement. Boom, code segfaults for no apparent reason.
It's just a bad idea to paper over potentially (and in this case, ACTUALLY) fatal, hard-to-trace errors instead of fixing them.
