A being created by an infallible being, should technically not err when given free choices as well...

Using your Free Will for evil is not an error, in the sense of a mistake: "I was given two choices which both looked ok and I happened to pick the wrong one".

Choosing to sin is not an unlucky guess, it is a deliberate act of rejection against the source of goodness.

The fact that you or I can both, at any time, reject the Creator of the Universe is not a design flaw. The whole point of Free Will is that we are free. If we were not free to choose God - or free to reject him - then we would be stones: - the whole of our human reality would have no meaning.
