Can you point to where that claim was made? I can't find it. The parent post assumes 1% for the sake of argument to underline that the impact of the 1% error depends on the number to which the 1% are applied — automation reduces the effort and increases the number. Hypothetical example: Cops shoot the wrong person in x% of cases. If we equipped all surveillance cameras with guns that also shoot the wrong person in x% of cases the world would be a nightmare pandemonium, simply because there is more cameras and they are running 24/7. Mind that the precise value of x and whether is constant or not does not impact the argument at all.
