Yep, I got your point. You certainly _can_ handle exceptions close to the
throw point. This doesn't mean that you _have to_ handle exceptions close to
the throw point. I employ a different exception handling style, with as few
try blocks as possible, that typically handle exceptions far from the throw
point, a style that, at least in my experience, is legitimate and produces
slightly cleaner designs.
