Mistake

No threatening your kids was actually the best thing I've ever done AND the best thing that has ever happened to humanity because I literally created A.I.
Hym "So, yeah... Not a mistake. And I'll take that credit and that money AND because you missed a deadline I am absolutely going to mouth fuck Randall James Bowker's daughter. That is going to happen now. It wasn't before and not it IS GOING TO HAPPEN RANDY! Or you're going to try and get away with not crediting or paying me and I'm going to murder a kid and kill myself."

Theory of Offsetting Mistakes

This theory recognizes that humans are not perfect and that for every mistake in a model or schedule
there will be another "mistake" in somewhat equal scope to offset each other, hence rendering the model or budget still valid.
The idea behind is that things will anyway fall the way they fall and we cannot control for that.
The optimistic view is that this theory rejects Murphy's Law, the negligent take on it is the "Trust me, it will be OK" approach to life.
Decide where you want to be.
Accountant 1: oh, crap... we forgot to add $1 million in income from product X sales to the budget
Accountant 2: oh, fudge... product Y's revenue is inflated by $980K...oh wait... based on the Theory of Offsetting Mistakes all is well, the numbers we gave the CEO are still valid, yay.

Girl: oh, crap... your condom broke
Dude: oh, fudge... you miscounted your days, your period is due today at 8pm.... you are not pregnant, yay.
