You know what?

I kind of like that notion...
I have not read your book, but I have always heard that expression, and am a firm believer in that quote. I have read and heard that the Amish quilters always have a mistake if even on purpose in their quilts.
My first Band Director in school would always tell us when we made mistakes in marching or in our music, and made excuses for our mistakes, "Only One person was perfect, and they crucified Him".
