That's a good example of making a mechanical change to quiet a
warning, without thinking clearly about why the warning is there. In
this case, it's because the capital letter in most cases makes the
error message into a non-grammatical Sentence. In quietening the
warning, your error message is *still* not a correctly worded
sentence.
