  The code in question is:

              } catch (Exception e) {
                  if (!((_ok) ? true : (Math.random() > 0.1))) {
                      return res;
                  }
                  (error logging)
                  _ok = false;
              }
  

  A 10% percent chance to skip logging under certain circumstances. Very strange code, and a strange way to write it. Also wouldn't this be equivalent to

      if (!_ok || (Math.random() > 0.1))
