The error rate likely would drop if there were actual significant consequences for having created the errors in the first place. There are fines if a company refuses to correct errors after a "good faith" effort on the part of the consumer to challenge the error and people do win those cases, but the process is tedious and shouldn't put the burden on the consumer. Plus the fines are too small to matter in most situations. It's just another cost of doing business that is less than the cost of preventing the errors from occurring at the current rate.
