Question received from a student:

Hi prof, is it a valid bug if the user manually change our data file resulting in unexpected results

Answer: The reason we require the data to be in a human-editable file is because we want advanced users to be able to edit the data file. But you are free to declare that you don't support that ability yet. However, the application should still fail gracefully if a user corrupts the file accidentally.
