Something so bizarre about the idea that an error can be a good thing. Just wacko.
In any other context, such as if you get the wrong answer to a math problem, or don't believe in evolution !!!!!!!! -- your error is "bad" - it's never "good" it's never right.
But somehow in genetics an error can be good.
There is something wrong with a mind that can accept such an idea.
I think some people are confusing the term error with different.
A genetic difference would only qualify as an error if it hindered reproduction.
A genetic difference would qualify as an advantage if it aided in reproduction.
Understand? (no of course not)
The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
