This comes up a lot, particularly with PI space. It confused the hell
out of me when I first had to decipher that flow chart, and I realised
recently that I hadn't looked at it for long enough that it had once

Could we reduce the confusion, and/or spread some more clue, by being
more specific with this error? e.g.

 - matching route object already exists
 - not authenticated by: PLUSNET-NOC
