Comment (by nickm):

 This logic is less simple than I had thought a moment ago.

 If we are using one of the functions that manipulates the logs (like
 --verify-config or --dump-config), we will be in --quiet/--hush mode, but
 we want to validate/dump the logs ''as they would be if we were running
 without --quiet/--hush''.
