The 'Original' Bug

[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

Unspecific error message for add command

When the user accidentally combines the t/ argument with the i/ argument, the error message given is very generic:

This error message is unrelated to the actual mistake here since the mistake is not adding a space between the arguments because of a typo/accidental backspace, but the error message is about an index that isn't mentioned in the help command explanation for add command:

This error message is not helpful, and can even confuse the user further since the message is about an unrelated issue, and this mistake can be quite common due to human error, especially for fast-typists. Hence, the severity is medium due to the additional confusion that the error message causes and the fact that this mistake is quite common.
