I agree, but would love for someone to provide a w3c or similarly credible link that supports this statement.

@TroyFolger there is no such link, because what I am describing flies in the face of the w3c and of all established practice in the field of so-called "full stack web development". It is just the realization that smart people arrive to, contrary to what established practices dictate. Other smart people have arrived to the same conclusion, for example, Facebook's graph API will only return HTTP 200 OK and will return application-specific error codes within the application-specific response. The documentation is here: developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api/…
