I think the point is, if the driver error messages were a little more
intelligent (including some context) to begin with, then you (and a
bazillion others) wouldn't have to take any extra time to begin with.
It would be an instant "Oh, I see the problem."

It might also be helpful if the driver converted all records it was
able to convert and not simply abort on the first record with an
error.
