Why not both? I can't imagine an instance where a bad photo would be worse than no photo.

I can, for me at least. When you have forgotten you have it on too high and ISO, are quickly taking a shot and not bothering to review the shot. I'd far rather have the camera clearly let me know by not taking the shot so I can fix the problem.
