As a native speaker I can confirm that the first wording is definitely
not OK. The second one is tolerable, but I wonder if there is
something better, like "can only be applied to a numeric value" or
maybe there's a way to rephrase it so that we complain about the
non-numeric value itself rather than the application, e.g. ERROR:
json_frobnitz can only frob numeric values or ERROR: argument to
json_frobnitz must be numeric.
