mistakes are avoidable, and occur as a result of the researcher’s own actions. a limitation is unavoidable within the current experimental design (generally a flaw as a result of the design).

Answer:

an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgment caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge, etc. a misunderstanding or misconception.

an act or instance of limiting. 2 : the quality or state of being limited. 3 : something that limits : restraint. 4 : a certain period limited by statute after which actions, suits, or prosecutions cannot be brought in the courts.
