::) All "boolprop" does is report the errors. The errors haven't stopped, you just have stopped being told about them.
I don't think we'll ever convince the Sheeple of this.
You assume they're even bothering to listen or understand what boolprop actually is.
First time I played, I had one household that suffered from the "too many iterations" error in a constant stream, mainly with the pets. A sweep of downloads to remove the un-awesome didn't fix it but oddly enough, typing in maxmotives did. Boolprop hasn't popped up an error since.

Around here it's generally referred to as 'debug mode', not 'boolprop' fyi.
ETA: You'll notice the poster before you had quotation marks around "boolprop"; she was being sarcastic and using the sheeple name for it. Boolprop merely means boolean property. It can only have two states: on or off, true or false, 0 or 1 etc. So testing cheats is being set to 'true' in its boolean property. i.e. debug mode's being turned on.

This is what I get for not paying attention to what site uses what terms for it. :P

This site uses the accurate term for it, which is what should be used at every site, no matter what the so-called "community consensus" is on how to name it. Just because a majority may believe it, does not mean it becomes accurate, true or correct.

I argued with some kiddies over at the BBS yesterday about that very same thing.
BBSer 1: I keep getting errors popping up and I can't play!!!!11!!
BBSer 2: You should stop using BoolProp. I used that and it kept erroring on me.
Me: BoolProp only shows the errors that occur in your game, it doesn't cause them. If you are getting continuous errors, you have a conflicting hack in your game (update), or there is a bug in the game (report it).
BBSer 2: Nuh-uh! I'm reporting you! Bad advice.
I wouldn't have bothered, but I was at the site practicing futility by posting about bugs and had seen someone else ask if they should buy X item or FreeTime.
Larxene, both "debug mode" and "boolProp" are understood here. What is used is up to personal preference.
