I never disputed that. But what you said earlier was that

and I tried to explain that the average programmer usually doesn't mess
things up in a way that the "very uncommon case" really occurs. So in
practice the "very uncommon case" usually occurs only when a non-average
programmer fails at writing a good `pop-up-frame-function'. In that
case, however, signalling an error wouldn't help her much since that
might call the same `pop-up-frame-function' again.
