At the moment, parsing from config strings, such as reading from storage, does not check the parameter values. They ought to be checked (numeric values are numeric, bounded-range values within ranges, choice values have a valid choice), and action taken (likely raise exception).
This needs tools to clean out improper configurations from storage, too.
This situation arises when the bounds of a parameter have been tightened.
