I've had cables fray, slip, and even a FD that slowly slipped a bit on the seatpost once (it seems it was slightly loose from the factory). When that happens, unless it's catastrophic failure or you have a hundred km remaining to get home, it's easier to twist the adjuster a little bit, finish the ride, and solve the problem later.
