I suspect that's one of those "old wive's tales" since thinking you had to intentionally put a mistake in or it would be perfect would be a sin of arrogance.
It is not an "old wife's tale". It is also believed in other communities like Native Americans.
How arrogant is it to think your work is so perfect you have to intentionally put in an error?
