I interpreting "misconduct" as a conscious act...purposeful and deliberate.

I don't view unintended errors, whether due to incompetence, sloppiness or other reasons, as "misconduct".

OK, but your definition is idiosyncratic. Research misconduct, for example, includes negligent plagiarism and negligent omissions of relevant results.
