"...for error is not a pure negation, but rather a privation or lack of some knowledge that somehow ought to be in me"
I think here Descartes is realizing that he does have errors but only because he has a lack of knowledge. I think this is true because people make mistakes because they do not know what they are doing. But then again knowledge can not really help you because nobody knows everything. and sometimes it is not about knowledge...sometimes you know what you are doing is a mistake and you just make a stupid decision and do it anyway
