fallibly
In error-prone fashion
In a fallible manner—subject to error or mistake.
The word appears almost exclusively in contrast with infallibly: Humans reason fallibly, even when they're careful.
Where infallibly suggests certainty or divine perfection, fallibly acknowledges the possibility of being wrong.
