The error in all of those cases is what you failed to learn. What you didn't do, didn't see, didn't know.

Calculation is a dice throw, no matter what you like to tell yourself. You make the best decision you can at the time and you either had all the numbers you needed or you didn't. And sometimes those numbers aren't possible to know.

What's more useful: to drive yourself to do more, learn more, have more numbers or drive yourself crazy doubting the mathematician?
