Sin is from the latin meaning "without" or "lacking". It is used to refer to a debt as well as a flaw.
One of the central principles that you learn from the most famous game theory problem that Satoshi talked about being solved by cryptographic signatures, the Byzantine Generals Problem, for which more than a few things have been named "Byzantine Fault Tolerant" or BFT.
The key insight of this theory is basically that malice and error are impossible to distinguish between without discovering the intent of the individuals making the erroneous acts.
In simple terms, everyone makes mistakes, but evil people do things that would be considered mistakes, and they aim to promote others making mistakes as well.
This is why I say that trying to normalise the abnormal is literally the definition of evil. Evil means spreading errors, deliberately, in order to profit from them.
Those who merely tolerate the errors, are patsies, victims, cultists, and other variants of fool.
It is still not ok to tolerate errors even if it is true that oneself also commits errors. It is a worse error than direct errors because it enables evil.
