When Kay says (paraphrasing) 65% of your errors are overhead, he's talking about the difference between say baseball's batting averages and golf.
A batting average of .333 (you hit one ball for every three throws) is considered very good. But you're missing two out of three.
In golf, one wrong swing can ruin you.
The point is, when you're doing new things you should be failing often. If you're not you're playing the wrong game.
(I watch many more Alan Kay videos than I do sports, so I hope I'm describing baseball and golf accurately.)
