Error of our ways or ways of our error?

After reading the first few paragraphs of The Phenomenology of Error, I thought it was dull and a bit dry in parts. I understand why we read this piece but felt that it complicated a somewhat straightforward idea by trying to oversimplify the point. Yes, it is important to understand what error is and even though it's difficult to pinpoint an overall consensus among everyone on what error really is, it is also important to understand and maybe even cater to one's audience. If they do not notice, understand, or even care then the error(s) in the writing as Williams demonstrated with excerpts from White and Orwell, are not so crucial. On the other hand, if one is checking for grammatical errors then, of course, it is important to be spot on with usage but again that cannot be done easily if everyone disagrees with what is error and what is not. I felt that this piece did not have to be so long or need every single example that was used to make his intent understood. I found his examples like "Can't nobody tell what be happening four year from now." to be funny at first but as he kept using more of them, it just became redundant (kind of like my post) and just made it more to read.
