i'm not "uninterested". it's just faster for me to find message looking
at the code rather than to decipher errmsg

so while beginners crying at cryptic errmsgs, advanced beginners like
me don't waste time trying to decrypt them :)

but don't take it too seriously - for this particular message problem
is only those inferred/expected interpretation, types by itself are
helpful
