A term used as an alternative for Parallax Error.
Etymologically, parallax error is the term that you would really want to be attributed to Samuel Rowbotham, who used the pseudonym "Parallax" and have promoted Flat Earth pseudoscience belief. Parallax exists in the word "Parallax error", so it would be so cool if the term originated from him because he has made an "error". But the reality is disappointing, this term doesn't get attributed to him. Therefore, we can replace the Parallax error with the "Rowbotham error".

Teacher: Why the thermometer reading yours is false?
Student A: Oh, I have made a Parallax error.
Student B: Do you mean the Rowbotham error? Either way, but at least you don't miscalculate the diameter of the Flat Earth.

Get the pilot error mug.Apologies are pointless and mean nothing as long as you never acknowledge the error in your ways. Being apologetic won't bring George Floyd back, but an officer acknowledging that he/she isn't perfect or always right, even if he/she is a decent guy/ girl, and more people would get to live all the years they were meant to live, the same full life as the one that the officers will get to live.
Everybody has had some kind of error in their ways somewhere. If they were a computer, they'd have a lower rate of error, but they're not a computer, they are human and they fuck up a lot more than a computer.
