See this answer here:

The problem is that programmers would start feeling like "it's 
better" to check every assignment for exceptions, in the case 
that the variable is latter converted into a throwing property.

I have no solution to that, though...

OOH, I feel it will lead to bad programming style. OTOH, I feel 
like masking a database interrogation behind a property will 
throw some exception sooner or later.

So, I am clueless.
