Well, the thing is that many Fundamentalists and some Evangelicals and Pentecostals swear by Scofield's notes but would rend their vestments when they see notes in a Catholic Bible yet--here we find a fundamental--no pun intended-agreement between two exegetical methods.
As to your "they were wrong" assertion, I know better than to pursue this matter again, which has been prosecuted ad nauseam before. I am loath to reinvent the wheel so I gladly refer you and all to the website of my good friend and Master Catholic Apologist, Dave Armstrong, to survey the evidence.

There is some truth to what you state. I also find it interesting that there are some Protestants who swear by notes contained in Bibles as if they were somehow inspired along with the scripture themselves. I suspect the Catholics take their notes more seriously. But none of these notes are inspired.
I have no problem (as I did here) in voicing my opinion that there are errors, not only with Scofield, but with Calvin and Luther. There are certainly errors with some of the early church fathers writings so what would make them special? Why, heck, I would even go so far as to say there's errors in my doctrine, but, hey, that's pushing it. ;O)
What is important is that we identify these errors and own up to them.
