If one action can cause an error due to 5 different reasons, then how hard 
is it to test for these 5 reasons and print nice error messages for them.  
If not five; then at least the top 2 or 3.
I've been programming for years and have had to use my own software years 
after date, printing extra error messages is well worth the effort of 
finding out which problem caused the error as the learning curve gets a 
whole lot less steep.
