The FAQ entry for 'Why did an error not throw an exception?' said that setting $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' causes 'non-terminating errors instead of terminating', which is the opposite of what it actually does. The preference causes non-terminating errors to be treated as terminating (i.e. they throw catchable exceptions), not the other way around.
