confusing "module does not own channel capability" when passing wrong channel

[taitruong]

I was passing a wrong channgel belonging to another contract. So it wasn't my module/(IBC) contract, but the wrong channel I passed.

wasmd/x/wasm/keeper/handler_plugin.go

Line 190 in 7ea00e2

return nil, nil, errorsmod.Wrap(channeltypes.ErrChannelCapabilityNotFound, "module does not own channel capability")

Contracts can only send ibc packets on channels that are connected to them. Otherwise it would be easy to abuse.
I can see that the error message may be confusing though. When we tested this early, the scenario to prevent was more contracts sending to other ibc modules like ics20 transfer.
Would contract does not own channel capability be a better error message?
