Actually I know I make mistakes. I try to avoid doing that ,but it
happens. And I have a good idea of how intelligent I am. I know
people who are more intelligent, but I know even more who are less
intelligent.

I could honestly say the same thing.

His making an error on this problem is a perfect
example of it. He also likes to say if you make a mistake then you
aren't to be believed after that. So since Dan bungled it here we should
expect he's always wrong from now on. That's his logic at least.

Not a good paraphrase of my logic. You should altways think about
what people say and not accept what they say without thinking. And
if someone makes a lot of mistakes you should look at where they got
their ideas.

If you are partisan to the degree you are you mischaracterize those you
disagree with as making a lot more mistakes than they really do. At
least that's what you do to me. I respond to a lot of people's posts. I
don't have the time to devote to every response so that they are letter
perfect. I make a mistake every so often. But you make it sound like I'm
wrong about everything all the time. That is bull****, and you do it
because you want to discredit me not because I'm really wrong very much.
I get that. But the reality is you don't find very many errors from me
and most of them are so trivial it's a joke to even bring them up. I
would suggest that you worry more about expressing what you think and
less about whether other people make minor errors or not.
