>Unfortunately, my personal experience is you can't always trust your caller to log exceptions properly. (Especially when you are just working on one component in some huge system over which you lack overall control.) Throw and log can add noise to the logs (the same exceptions gets logged two or more times), but it also reduces the risk that the exception just disappears and never gets logged at all. (Or gets logged incompletely – don't get me started about Java apps and libraries that rethrow exceptions without setting the cause, meaning you lose information on the root cause of the exception.)

I know this to be 100% true. I deal with it at my dayjob. However, I will always take the hard-line stance that the caller needs to be fixed in these cases.
