Should I have said Error Recovery then?
EAC reads the discs accurately, that's all.
It performs multiple reads of the disc its ripping, and does running comparisons of the data, bit for bit. If there are problems reading a disc it will read it many multiples of times.
If it can't get identical data reads after so many attempts it will ID the point where it failed as possible data failure, and then move on.
The EAC website is worth reading.
