I'll have to read the JSTOR paper first, but I still can't get over the notion that, for instance, the idea that, for instance, cancer is a "mistake" assumes a privilege afforded to phenomena that humans see as beneficial.

I cannot answer your question, and I'm just an engineer, so I'm not exactly an "expert". Still, I think an "error in nature" implies a value judgement that is a purely human artifact. I think everything in nature is variable and what we call an error is just a value far from the typical.
