Not wilfully, no.

I don't believe I've ever met anyone who never makes mistakes. If
that wasn't what you meant, then one of us made a mistake -- me in
interpreting your words, or you in expressing your meaning.

Cute. I'm not claiming perfection or omniscience here. I'm just
disclaiming any responsibility for the deviations from same, since
they're not by choice and to the extent that they're practically
avoidable they are avoided.

Fine. It certainly sounded to me as if you *were* claiming
perfection, but apparently I was wrong.

It seems to me, though, that when someone points out a deviation
from perfection or omniscience, rather than arguing about whether
it's your fault it might make more sense just to add the new or
correction information to your total store of knowledge and get
on with things.
