Complete non sequitur. If there's no design then there's no overarching purpose, and hence no change to the genome can take it further away from that purpose. There's no "correct" path for there to be an error on.

And now you're begging the question, because we know for a fact that a computer program has been designed, and so there is a function that it was made to accomplish, and therefore any change that occurs that takes away from that is an error. Not so for genetic code.

In the interests of accuracy, I have to point out that it's also not true: detrimental changes get passed on too, assuming they aren't enough to kill the organism hosting them.
Which, really, just makes Grace's (continued, baseless) claims that they are errors even more ridiculous.
