IMHO "foo > bar" is not an "option". I think we say "foo and bar are
mutually exclusive options" but I think don't say "foo = x and bar = y
are.. options". I wrote a comment as "this should be more like
human-speaking" and Euler seems having the same feeling for another
error message.

Concretely I would spell this as "min_apply_delay cannot be enabled
when parallel streaming mode is enabled" or something. And the
opposite-direction message nearby would be "parallel streaming mode
cannot be enabled when min_apply_delay is enabled."

regards.
