Right - the rarity of these checks, plus the fact that in both cases here they give a nonsensical debug message that has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual failing condition, seems to make it clear that they aren't realistically useful. In general I don't see any good reason for a non-sampling event to be picky about the exact type of samples it isn't collecting.
