Not the best error message when I added a pubkey for a node that didn't exist in the config file

I made a mistake in my config file and used a wrong pubkey. This is the error message I got:

Caused by:

Took me a second to realise it was because I used the wrong pubkey.

@maxwedwards, the proposed fix would have shown you the error below. Would this have been sufficient to indicate you have the wrong (but valid) pubkey as a destination?

The error is saying that it couldn't get node features but that's not the problem right? Perhaps something like:
Config validation failed: No config found for destination node 02e312385bf63667f8c3589146d4fd78e14975c3ba94afe7d1f5f7bb3b73e63c7c.
or
