That's not the situation described in the post I was responding to, and I don't think it applies to most tax filers.

The "situation" was a meme about filing taxes in its broadest possible conception. I don't agree that there's a distinction to be drawn here, and I already explicitly noted that this doesn't apply to most filers.

I guess you could include intentional fraud under the phrase, "What if I get it wrong?" but that seems pretty far outside the intent of the question.

I don't agree that it's far outside their intent of the question. I actually think it was pretty close to the heart of it, which is an idea of complying with the bizarre way in which the United States has decided to process taxes.

The truth is you can, in fact, go to prison, and that it is indeed rare for that to happen, but it can happen and I acknowledged its rarity.
