It's a possibility, but that would make it much less nice to
diagnose and debug problems, as the caller does not usually have
necessary information.

The caller may ask for object A, and the error is triggered
because a different object C is missing, which is the delta base
of object B which in turn is the delta base of object A.  The
best your "caller" can say is "cannot read object A for some
reason", and it cannot say "cannot read object A because object
C is missing".
