I got an other impression in this case after a bit of information
was presented which seems to be contradictory.

Do you care if the source code for an error message is present only once
in this function?

I suggest to reconsider this concern.

I am looking also for change possibilities without such a restriction.

I proposed some software updates to reduce a bit of code duplication.

Do you find any corresponding approaches useful?
