Comment (by henry.wright):

 using `current_user_can()` with a single argument isn't a developer error
 according to the function definition. it is a developer error to attempt
 to use a non-existing second argument in the function definition though

 in my opinion the developer calling these functions isn't doing it wrong
 but the developer writing the function definition may be doing it wrong
 depending on whether they attempt to access a variable not set
