Many cryptic error messages are from error traps. When I write code I place a check any time I request a resource from the system, which is by far the most likely cause of failure in a program besides the software having an actual bug. However the error returns on those requests is usually a cryptic code that maps to some barely in English error message. Since there are literally dozens of possible failures for some of these requests and thousands of such message in Windows total most coders, myself included, simply pass them through to the error popups since making our own messages would be massively time consuming and achieve very little.

RW has a unique use case and this is clearly an error message on a trap specifically about that use case. It isn't a bug in the program. It is in the way the user is using the software.
