The word doesn't literally mean the exception itself was unraisable. It means it was raised, we caught it and we're writing it to stderr because we *can't raise it again*. The relevant C API function is just called "PyErr_WriteUnraisable", not "PyErr_WriteUnraisableButThatIsTechnicallyWrongSinceItWasAlreadyRaisedAndWeJustCaughtItAndAreNowReportingItToStdErr".
