Cute, but a red herring. This is not an 'Error', nor claimed to be in the 
Javadocs. I concur that the name could have been better chosen.

So could its constructors. Notice that they don't even allow an 'Error' as a 
constructor argument. This must have been a deliberate choice, given that they 
could have easily carried forward the policy of the supertype constructor:
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Exception.html#Exception(java.lang.String, 
java.lang.Throwable)>

So it's crystal clear that the compound name part "Error" and the document 
comments about "error" refer to the word in the natural language sense only, 
and no confusion between 'java.lang.Error' and 'java.lang.Exception' should be 
inferred.
