A wonderful insight from Wittgenstein (On Certainty):

73. But what is the difference between mistake and mental disturbance? Or what is the difference between my treating it as a mistake and my treating it as mental disturbance?
74. Can we say: a mistake doesn't only have a cause, it also has a ground? I.e., roughly: when someone makes a mistake, this can be fitted into what he knows aright.



To highlight the difference we can contrast a stupid mistake with an "insanely great product."
