I don't really see any point in printing an error once. If you run your 
application twice you end up thinking there was an issue just on the 
first run but it's actually always wrong.


Unless we're willing to take the syncobj lock for longer periods of time 
when adding points, I guess we'll have to defer validation to validation 
layers.
