What I would prefer to see on an error is:

<error for a dummy>
<error for a technical person>

Rather than just <error for a dummy>

The trick is to find a way to express the error such that a 
non-technical person is not horrified, yet, a technical person has a 
chance to find the actual problem. A dialog with a details button is great.

Now, that said, we would need to have a chat with the developers to make 
that happen
