difference between the expected and actual outcome isn't an "error" if the expected outcome was in fact the most likely.
For example, if you flip a coin 100 times, the predicted outcome would be 50 heads. If the actual outcome turns out to be 95 heads, the difference wouldn't be viewed as an "error", it would be viewed as improbable and either "lucky" or "unlucky" depending on whether heads or tails is considered favorable.
