Error-finding program

[David Wilson]

T.D. Noe just found an error in A057886, to wit:

%U A057886 825,836,946,957,1078,10,90,1222,1234,1378,1391,1547,1560,1729,1743

The element 1090 was split into two elements 10,90 by a typo or inaccurate submission.

In this case, looking at the graph immediately raises suspicion, because a general trend is punctuated by two very small values.

Some very common errors in OEIS sequences are:

- Lexically splitting elements
- Lexically joining adjacent elements
- Omitting elements
- Transposing elements

In sequences that have smooth growth, any of these errors potentially induces a suspicious disruption in that growth.

Might it be possible to create an AI that would detect and flag such suspicious elements?
