If die_on_bad_params makes it harder for designers to use and less like 
the tools they are used to using, how can that be a "pathetic" argument.

Looking back at all of my projects that use HTML::Template I can 
honestly say that die_on_bad_params has caused more problems then it's 
fixed for me. It's not an argument against reliability but rather for 
it. If a valid template change causes an ISE (rather than just an 
invalid display) I'd say your software is less reliable. You now need a 
developer to fix what was supposed to be a design problem.
