By definition an enum value can only contain the values that are listed in
its declaration, anything else is an invalid value. If it contains another
value then you have already made a mistake when converting some other type
to the enum.
To highlight the problem: if the variable "kind" would contain -2 instead
of -1 then your check would still fail.
To safely convert a non-enum value (e.g. an Integer) to an enum you should
use something like this:
if (Ord(Low(TMyEnum)) <= MyInt) and (MyInt <= Ord(High(TMyEnum))) then
MyEnum := TMyEnum(MyInt)
else
raise Exception.Create('Curse you!');
