This is especially evident in e.g. third-party Python libraries.

For example, say you have a pandas dataframe with a column "foo" and you accidentally try to read column "fooo". Instead of getting a useful exception like "PandasException: Attempted to read nonexistent column 'fooo'", you get a traceback 10 layers deep, terminating in something like "pandas.hashtable.PyObjectHashTable.get_item" which ought to be totally invisible to you, the library user.
