Well we need praise even when things go wrong (esp. then)

How about some sympathy type words as well ?

Here is a use-case:

err = rnorm()

if(class(err == "try-error"))
 praise("We have a error in rnorm ${sympathy}.)

We have a error in rnorm don't worry.
We have a error in rnorm heavens are not gonna fall.
We have a error in rnorm but you are still alive.
We have a error in rnorm but there is ice-cream in the freezer.
We have a error in rnorm it's almost weekend.

pval <- my model

if(pval > 0.2)
 praise("Its not you, its the data; ${sympathy}.")

etc....

👍 We can call it {encouragement} maybe.

Certainly, sympathy is a wrong word.
