Writers employ "erroneous" to signal that a thought, translation, or conclusion deviates sharply from accepted truth or accurate understanding. In historical works, it is used to call attention to mistranslations and misdated events—for instance, noting that a biblical translation was flawed ([1], [2]) or that the dating of an event is corrupt ([3]). Philosophers and social critics extend the term to challenge popular notions and reasoning; they argue that many widely held beliefs are based on a faulty logic or an inadequate grasp of reality ([4], [5], [6]). Literary dramatists and novelists similarly deploy "erroneous" as a concise critique of mistaken impressions or misguided judgments, whether describing inaccurate portrayals of characters or flawed theoretical assertions ([7], [8]).
