Richard Feynman, while still a student at Princeton, found an error in some well known proof, and set himself a rule to double check every theorem he would use.
I don't remember the details of the story (I read surely your joking years ago), and remember being amazed by how much time that policy must have cost him.
But now I wonder that he didn't hit dozens or hundreds of errors over the years.
