Yes, but according to the documentation, there shouldn't be an error at all ("Do not throw an error if the *view* does
notexist."). It doesn't say, "do not throw an error if the *object* does not exist", but "if the *view* does not
exist".This is very clear to me.
 

So it's either a documentation error or a code error. It cannot be none.
