Haha..! Happy to help fill your Sunday..

The sentence is given as an example of using different types of thinking... First, concentrate on looking for errors, then use diffuse thinking i.e go away and do something completely different whilst your subconscious mind works on the problem.

It's an excellent book by the way..
