The error was essential in the sense that it was an inevitable outcome of an essential process. Similarly you might say, “exhaling carbon dioxide is not essential for survival; what you really need is to turn food into energy.” But if I was prevented from exhaling CO2, I would quickly run into problems.

Bad analogy. If I don’t get rid of waste products I will die. If I don’t make a mistake I will… succeed more quickly and be unrealistically lucky. That’s entirely different.
To say the error is essential is a mistake. The error is inevitable, not essential.

In terms of control systems, trial is the forward path and error is the feedback, so let’s agree that both are needed for success...
Yup, agreed.
