My experience is a bit of the opposite, and the truth is somewhere in the middle I guess. But anyway, if you want to error out, why not just do that? Why go through the mess of coming up with an exception that will propagate through God knows how many checks and hopefully won't be caught?
Because you want it to be catchable by someone who is looking for it.
