That's not true. A failed assertion can happen because of anything
where the RS programmers thought that this should not happen. That
does not always mean that the app is hosed. In fact, it's even
possible that the assertion is in error and that everything is
fine.

An Assertion error is just a verification failure that a human has
explicitly coded. Nothing magical about it.
