As I recall, my goal was merely to point out that unstructured jumps are still used for error handling. I was in no way attempting to claim that the two features are the same.

I'm sorry for any confusion.

No need to apologize. I didn't mean to suggest any failure of intent or diligence. The problem is only that people who have grown up in a culture of both "goto is evil" and "exceptions are free" has a poor lens through which to view the comparison. It's just one of those things that might need to be clarified in a later version as time marches on around us. In general, I found the article very well written and helpful.
