It makes perfect sense to make sure that invalid input gets rejected and the command exits with non-zero status, and it is probably a good thing that the end-user sees a message that explains why the particular input is rejected (even though it adds one more thing that needs to be updated when the message gets reworded).

But do we need to insist on no output to the standard output stream when the command errors out?

Other than that, looking good.
THanks.
