I wasn't.  As far as I can tell, if an #error directive is correctly
processed and obeyed, the processor still has to proceed to translate
the program successfully, unless an implementation limit is exceeded.

For an #error directive that is (correctly) skipped due to #if, etc.,
I'd say the question didn't even require asking.

If this were the company's opinion, I wouldn't be allowed to post it.
