Hello Benjamin, if your exception is so general that it is called exception you can obviously simply use exception. If your exception is actually doing something than name that something. Meaning the name of the exception class is carrying information already. Thus every exception should be specialized. Now namespaces are a tool to help you structure your code and avoid naming issues. They are not a tool to shorten your names or aid you in typing less. And especially namespaces are not there to overcome any naming limitations or tricking the naming rules.
