He seems to be limited in his thinking to the existing implementations he 
has seen or read about. I.e., there is no indication of out-of-the-box 
thinking. His dialog seems to hint toward a C++-like implementation of 
exceptions as the be-all and end-all, bottom line, last answer on the 
topic of exception handling, which is like much of the rationale often 
spewed for C++ features: absurd. His last sentence above is obviously 
wrong also.
