I didn't know that! But I usually ignore line numbers anyway.

My favorite quote about error line numbers is from this article:

Imagine you're running down the streets of Manhattan at supersonic speed. The sidewalk on 35th street has some cracks in it, so you trip. But you're going so fast that you land on 39th street and dirty the pavement with your blood and guts. Then a traffic safety officer comes over and says, "Hey! There's a problem with 39th street! Someone's soiled the sidewalk with their innards!"
