Type II error

Type II error, also known as an "error of the second kind", a β error, or a "false negative": the error of failing to reject a null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is the true state of nature. In other words, this is the error of failing to observe a difference when in truth there is one. This type of error can only occur when the statistician fails to reject the null hypothesis.

So he's saying this specific type of error ocurrs when the statistician doesn't spot a difference somewhere in the numbers, and there actually is one.

Don't ask me wtf the null hypothesis is though
