logging is not just for debugging but also just for general information and understanding of what's going on right so yeah you say how is this different than error handling because basically in regards to that same bit how is this different than just errors. Sometimes it's a little bit also at the same time more targeted and less targeted because you can have less targeted info being logged letting you know exactly what's happening around potential errors or things like that.
