If there was a cause for the error then BY DEFINITION it is not unforced. It is also not a "figurative statement" or a "figure of speech". It's wrong. You are using the word wrong. You are using the wrong definition. You are using the word incorrectly. And when you do so, it hurts your point, especially when you don't admit you're wrong and try to mental gymnastic your way into being right.
