Why do both? It really isn’t necessary and wastes peoples time.

Hello,  
Two is better than one 🙂  
Don’t make any mistakes and it won’t waste anyone’s time.  
On which platform is the error message more efficient?  
I will then use the most efficient platform.

Not really, no.

Indeed.

There is no ‘efficiency’.

Probably best to first in the forums or open.rocket.chat and then someone will advise you if it is worth opening a bug.
