Examples of errors:

One could argue that 6 airframes where built:
STA-99 which became OV-99
OV-101 Enterprise which never flew into space but was built to be
spaceworthy
OV-102 Columbia
OV-103 Discovery
OV-104 Atlantis
OV-105 Endeavour

There are even 8, counting Pathfinder and OV-098 (MPTA)

There also the 'virtual orbiter' used to proof the software and
control systems, OV-095. Arguably just as vital to the program as any
airframe.
