But how does one know? - Seriously, when I listen to these jazz runs and 
harmonies, I can't really tell whether they are mistakes or not....I know 
they usually repeat the same phrase, and make the same, "mistake", so I 
still can't tell. - They do the same thing from time to time in classical 
music, incidentally....There is a story about a trumpet player that screwed 
up in a short passage, and then, soon afterward, the flute player repeated 
the same passage, and she intentionally made the same mistake, so no one in 
the audience (except W.A.Mozart or those of his ilk) would know the 
difference......:^)
