You probably know this, in fact I'm sure you do, but in OOP exceptions 
are like 95% of the time used for everything but fatal errors. Well, 
maybe 98 or 99 percent of the time.

To the larger question, which I snipped, I'd still have the constructor 
throw exceptions. It's just a method, and in this case a failure to 
build is significant - it rates an exception. I don't know why it would 
screw up scoping: I'd typically have the happy path inside the "try". If 
you make your "try" blocks too small then you're defeating the purpose 
and introducing unnecessary "is this thing null" checks.
