Not a problem. Apologies for my entropic quote levels.
Isn't this normal for find in the absence of sudo?
$ mkdir a a/b
$ chmod 000 a
$ find a -type d ! -perm -700
find: a: Permission denied
$ echo exit status: $?
exit status: 1
$ find a -type d ! -perm -700 -exec chmod u+rwx '{}' \;
find: a: Permission denied
$ echo exit status: $?
exit status: 1
