I don't think this is the best argument, if the programmer wants 
to reduce the number of exceptions that are propagated then the 
exception should be recast to a more abstract exception between 
module boundaries.

So the "super highway" issue is more a result of the programmer 
not being interested in structuring error-handling, but rather 
view errors as something that never should happen. Which may make 
sense in some applications, but not in all.
