It's clear from the quoted paragraph that by "error rate" they actually meant "false denial rate". That's also the words I used in the comment you are replying to.

Did you comment because you take issue with misuse of the term error rate, or because you think that correct approvals make up for incorrect denials, and that therefore overall error rate is a useful metric?
