Whether it's an error or not. The same error being made multiple times is to me a normal case. So is a single error. An error being made sometimes is rather what I would call surprising.
If you know something but make a mistake it's likely a one-off error. If you don't know something you will make the same error many times until someone alerts you to the situation. Both very likely cases if you ask me.
Whereas if you have N mentions and ~N/2 are wrong, then that is the most unlikely case. Since you'd either have to forget what you know half the time, or you would have to make a sloppy mistake half of the time.
