The programmer hides error messages by overriding them with exception handling. As a result of this the root error message is hidden from the user (hence 'error hiding') and so they will not be told what the actual error is. Error hiding is a bane of support engineers' jobs as it often delays the resolution of the problem by hiding information needed to identify what is going wrong.
