The Amish supposedly leave an error in "on purpose" with each quilt because only God is perfect. (Of course, this is the excuse we quilters give when we see an error -- "I left that in on purpose.") I sort of feel the same way about books.
Hmm... left it in on purpose. Well, if somebody should come across an error in my novel (it's been scrubbed quite thoroughly, but you never know) I'll be sure to tell them that! I love it! Thank you!

There's just only so much the human eye can catch, I think. Plus you never know what might happen from moving it between formats - conversion errors seem to be quite common. Something is bound to slip through, especially with longer works.
