You can be fairly sure that in that case others will catch it and attack it gleefully as well.

For me and probably many others there's so much more satisfaction in catching and correcting eg. Nereid in an error of physics than there is in catching eg. Arch~Angel since it's both much harder to find one and much more likely that the correction will be accepted.
