It'd be nice if the console just plainly flat out told what happened instead of being obfuscated in the first place so I could quickly do it myself without having to ask for help..
The code to handle errors would be so bloated to deal with every conceivable and inconceivable situation you will get errors on your errors.
The computer is as helpful as it can be with what little context it knows of what was going on. Mostly it just knows that codeline 123 went fine and 124 went not.
