From M-x describe-repeat-maps,
‘outline-navigation-repeat-map’ keymap is repeatable by these commands:
‘outline-backward-same-level’ (f)
‘outline-forward-same-level’ (b)
‘outline-next-visible-heading’ (n)
‘outline-previous-visible-heading’ (p)
‘outline-up-heading’ (u)
When you do not know the structure of the outline headings beforehand,
it can so happen that you press f/b anticipating that there's a heading
on the same level but that might not be case. If f/b `error's, then you
have to press n/p to continue navigating. This is what I meant by
"misfiring."
If repeat-mode decides to end the repeating sequence, I'd have to start
again with C-c @ C-n. IMO, this isn't a friendly interface.

My point is that sometimes it is desirable to not end the sequence on
`error'.
