I don't think this is the best argument, if the programmer wants to reduce the number of exceptions that are propagated then the exception should be recast to a more abstract exception between module boundaries.
So the "super highway" issue is more a result of the programmer not being interested in structuring error-handling, but rather view errors as something that never should happen. Which may make sense in some applications, but not in all.
