This is one of the reasons I like programming my state machines in Rust using enums to represent states. If I forget to deal with that state in my match statement, the compiler yells at me.
Right, but there are two paths, so it will actually be in your match in one direction.
Anyway, it's not that hard to come up with similar examples where a missing link in the mesh is easier to see than it is to read, and that's my core point.
Consider the case of writing out a small connectivity diagram for a near-grid of things. Now everybody but the edge has 4-5 links. One missing in that is brutally hard to find, if it's irregular, but probably still pretty easy to see.
