It depends how you look at it. Right now the page is being tested so
there are a few broken links (or rather functions).
In the previous version, for which that 404 page was designed, there was
no broken link, so it was really to help the stumbler out. (Say if
someone posts a wrong link in some forum, for example). Whenever I added
a link, I made sure it works.
I will check out the server log, but I haven't done that in the past.
That may be a better tool, I guess, than depending on user's feedback.
