Is there any valid reason to ever ignore a caught exception

Question

Wow, I just got back a huge project in C# from outsourced developers and while going through my code review my analysis tool revealed bunches of what it considered bad stuff

Answer 1

Think of it this way - if you are expending the CPU cycles to catch the exception but then swallowing, you are ignoring a potential issue and wasting CPU. As many have said the application should not be throwing that many exceptions unless you have something poorly constructed.
