What is the phrase in the bracket served as?
"If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, {what is almost as great a benefit}, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error." (source: On Liberty By John Stuart Mill)
If the underlined phrase the clearer~with error is the object for the verb lose, then, what is the phrase in the bracket served as? Could you help me clarify it? Thank you always.
