I understand it as follows. Although this code now throws generic `Error` instead of `NullPointerException`, which the bug reporter observed, we shouldn't see that `Error` in circumstances similar to those of bug reporter. This is because in those circumstances the code will throw `ConfigurationException` earlier, at construction time, so we won't reach this check. Do I understand it correctly?

Same as above.
