Add content on when to (and when not to) use asserts?

[DamienIrving]

I did a Data Carpentry workshop earlier in the year and some of the very knowledgeable instructors at the workshop suggested reconsidering the use of asserts in the defensive programming lesson I delivered (see carpentries-lab/python-aos-lesson#36 for details).

If we ever write an update of this book, I wonder if we need to add some words/advice about when and when not to use asserts. Perhaps a condensed version of the following two posts (which were mentioned in the issue I linked to above)?
