Not necessarily. You can arrive at the correct conclusion from a faulty premise. You learn that in the logic class.

I can't put my finger on what's supposed to be wrong but something doesn't sit with me right. Do you always need to errors to cancel eachother out?

Yes. Having said that, it's also true that if you have a complete and consistent logical framework, if you then include at least one single false premise, then you can now reach any conclusion whatsoever, true or false.
