"provision for potential errors" redundant?
0 hey all 02 br
00 just want ot know if the following statement is redundant: 02 br
02 br
00 We must make provision for potential errors. 02 br
02 br
00 shouldn't it rather be: 02 br
00 we must make provision for errors. 02 br
02 br
00 Why i think this is redundant: well, anything we make provision for already has a potential to materialize - thats why we make a provision for it!! - if that makes sense? 05 0 02 br
02 br
00 This is tricky ! 02 br
00 thanks a lot. 02 br
