Questions, particularly from newbies, may seem impertinent, However they are intended to educate the questioner, hence remove his/her knowledge limitation in a given subject.
I really like the honesty of your response. This is an ever-present issue, especially when the person asking is your boss, ie. the customer.
I think the issue falls under the topic, "How does a unknowledgeable person evaluate the competence of a knowledgeable person?" Customers often try to evaluate coders by watching how fast they type, for instance. Unknowledgeable managers or customers have a difficult task in front of them.
If the monitoring is happening why do errors still come through?
Any engineer that gets indignant when asked if they do X needs an attitude adjustment. I'm sick to death of the "you're so stupid" attitude that the IT industry in general has developed. Especially when they are perfectly legitimate questions (and since there ARE errors to begin with, I don't think asking whether certain types of errors are monitored are exactly out of line--if it was so "of course I do that" then there wouldn't be errors to begin with). We engineers are human, therefore we err.
Why did your webmaster tool report that my site, which has dashes in the domain name, has a broken link to a page called "-" (with no file extension), when there was no link, no map reference, or any such thing in the code?
Did you ever think that you are like a bull in a china shop, and that maybe we work around your errors? In this case I created a "-" page (with no extension). It is much like wearing a doctors mask, is it to protect me or you?
My Question.. WMT Doesnt seem to be displaying ALL my backlinks. Does WMT Display all the back-links to my site? if not why? Thanks, Kane Robinson, Yorkshire UK

That's because Google does not display all the backlinks.
People like us have have this misconception that Google likes to hide stuff.
You can't blame the user to ask this question.

Rule of thumb, the guy who never makes a mistake is usually pretty good at hiding them.
What GWT need is transparency, like an uptime chart that is updated in real time (like Amazon Web Service uptime chart)
In this way no one has to ask those kind of questions, and get the pre-canned answer "of course we do"
