As a general rule of human understanding, it is not the
input that is in error- it is the perception.
EXAMPLE
As I am sitting down in front of my computer with a cup of water
in my hand, I think a few drops spilled on the floor. I get a paper towel and put it down on the
floor, but no moisture appears, causing me to think that there was no
spill. When the paper towel moves
slightly on the floor the liquid spots appear.
I perceived correctly that some drops of water had fallen to the floor. Then I amended/corrected that conclusion based on unfulfilled expectations.
