I'm sure this error message totally makes sense when you see it as part of the code.
Except most people don't read the code for the software they use. And in that case, such an error message feels like I'm being mocked.

It tells you that list requires one argument and it wasn't provided, what's wrong with it?
@chewbacca indeed, what's wrong with not telling me what that argument means?
Gregory, it might be inconvenient, but at least it gives you an idea what exactly is wrong, you don't have to guess. And more details are usually available with --help parameter. :)
