Re: set -e in (subshells) does not work independently of outer context

Please note,  I didn't compare anyone or their actions to those of Nazi's,

I used them as a historically famous example of someone who claimed to only
be following 'orders', (or the rules, or the standard....whatever!)... and in
a world court, it was deemed that such excuses were not a valid excuse for not
thinking for themselves and realizing that whatever the thing was they'd been 
told to do, was 'wrong'.   (in their case, more wrong than most), but as I said
before, we are talking a matter principle -- NOT whether someone is behaving in
a Nazi like fashion, THOUGH, if we wanted to compare and look at those who are
engaged in dictatorial actions, and those who are more commonly marginalized as
outsiders, I'm sure such a comparison would be 'pointless' (though ironic).
