These are fine, but a "?" (that replaces the offending character) does
not look outright 8bit, does it? The problem is: the offender is
eliminated. No proof left, and that's not helpful. In many cases, you
can guess what has been the problem, but logs are actually there to
avoid guessing.

Lines of Code or Characters of Output? :-)
