Description
I miskeyed a helper id while going through the README and the error made it sound like I didn't provide the flag when in fact I just had an incorrect ID. Also, it is weird the error message has underscores instead of dashes- some sort of CLI library thing?
$ divviup task create --name net-promoter-score --leader-aggregator-id c6a780d8-e0d3-4881-93dc-5b4af3712734 --helper-aggregator-id 96301951-c848-4a57-b4f5-32812e4db1be --collector-credential-id b24c97c9-1aff-4ff4-875c-cac4f6834b86 --vdaf histogram --categorical-buckets 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 --min-batch-size 100 --max-batch-size 200 --time-precision 60sec

Research direction
Reproduce the validation output from the README's divviup task create example using an incorrect helper aggregator ID. Trace the CLI validation entry point and check how missing and invalid IDs are distinguished. Done means an incorrect ID gets an accurate error and the displayed field name uses dashes rather than underscores.
