That "mistake" aspect is addressed in the article.

Multiple sources make it unlikely it was "mistake". It was almost certainly disinformation. The "mistake" was running with unverified information.

Consistently making "mistakes" that go in one direction indicates lack of integrity.

When multiple sources agree, it's not unverified—it's a deliberately spread lie.

Consistently getting lied to in one direction implies that the people spreading these lies have a specific ideological goal in mind.
