title: Mockito lenient() when to use
body: <p>As I understand, <code>lenient</code> silences the exceptions thrown by <strong>StrictStubbing</strong>. Based on this, <code>lenient</code> shouldn't be used, maybe only temporary while doing TDD, because strict stubbing exceptions would generally mean that your code is either wrong, test is badly designed or you are adding unnecessary lines.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a practical scenario where <code>lenient</code> is actually needed or useful for the test?</p>
