Exactly. You need to infer that, it isn't stated directly.

Same like you need to guess, that "Unable to connect" means connection refused, while "We can’t connect to the server at a" means the DNS request failed. Or does it mean no route to host? Network is unreachable?

I would argue, that (sometimes) the user would be fine to distinguish whether he wants to approve something, but can't because both dialogs state the same wishy-washy message. Even non-technical users (might) eventually learn the proper terms, but they can't if they only get shown meaningless statements.
