The idea is to generate a warning if you try to allocate a resource that has it's dailymin bigger than the duration/effort for the task. Because, if the dailymin is bigger it means this resource will never be allocated to the tasks and by receiving the warning you can take some action:
remove the resource, or
lower the dailymin for that task
If you use the dailymin, than it means you have some good reason for doing so, therefore it would be appropriate to get some feedback if something is not quite right.
Also, being a warning, you can simply ignore it ;)

Only if it is pushed out off the project time frame an error is generated. So, the fact that TJ cannot allocate a certain time slot does not justify an error.
An error is justified if a task can never be allocated. This is my opinion, at least, and the above conditions will make a task impossible to be alocated. You can push the task as much as you want, but its constraints will never let it be allocated!
