My favorite part of this was the explanation surrounding error. What is error? Where is it derived? What is its outcome? Knowledge and understanding was repeatedly error's outcome. St. Thomas was saying that it's okay to be human. It's okay to make mistakes as long as a lesson is learned and understanding is gained.
Right now error is a huge part of my life. Everyday I'm learning something new. It's part of being eighteen. It's even relatable to the art I make. Trial and error is how I learn to create, nothing, not even ideas are correct the first time. I have to constantly refine and shift to accurately portray my ideas. 
I do disagree however, that he categorizes imagination with error because it is not perceptually correct. Then again, many philosophers before him have as well. Then again, I can only apply this statement to artwork. I do not feel that artwork is "wrong" because some of it can not be sensed as something real.
