i don't get what is there to "bitch about" at all

you have a mountpoint in /etc/fstab and don't care if it don't get 
mounted at boot and instead data get written into the folder instead the 
correct filesystem?

normally that is not what somebody expects and if that is the desired 
behavior for you just say that to your operating system and add "nofail"
