Error Checking in iTunes - do I set it to ON of OFF and WHY?

Question

So I have a disk that looks good but iTunes fails to RIP a couple of tracks in their entirety (i.e. - it only copies a portion of the track ) and this is when the _Error Checking_ option is "checked".
If I de-select the Error Checking option and retry the import, the track is imported completely
So my questions are:
1. if Error Checking is selected and the RIP is unsuccessful is this reported anywhere?
- it would be nice after ripping 18 tracks to be informed that 1 or 2 were not completed
- I could not find any errors reported - it simply skipped to the next track
- I only found it on listening to the track, which terminated abruptly
- I re-ripped the faulty tracks and noticed the Rip terminated prematurely from the status bar
2. if Error Checking is de-selected
- I assume the Ripping process simply copies what data it is able to read?
- if that is the case - I assume burning a CD will propagate the problem?
Is anyone able to provide some clear and concise information on the Ripping process WRT Error Checking - no conjecture or assumptions please, the web is full of that.
Many Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Thanks Limnos for confirming the propagation issue - I didn't know if apple did stuff behind the scenes.
If anyone else knows if iTunes has errors flagged or reports located somewhere I would love to know where.
For know I'll accept that turning on error checking will cause the Rip to fail and not use it.
One other thing I noticed was with Error Checking turned on the quality of some tracks were pretty poor, but once turned off the quality got better - this appears contrary to some other posts I have read.
Any feedback on the quality issue would be appreciated
