it's a statistical thing. Chances are the more correction bits you add, the better the chance that any errors that occur can be corrected. Yes, the error correction bits have the same chance of being in error as any other, so long as the total number of bit errors in any given 'word' of data does not exceed the redundancy built in via the error correction bits, then the data can be recovered.
