The question wasn't about why throw multiple exceptions that are subclasses of each other, but rather why would you declare it in the method signature (this was clarified in the question comments)

@ordus the title of the question currently is "Why throw exception that is subclass of another exception also thrown?". If you feel that the title is wrong you could suggest an edit.
