Why Estimate the Lowest Plausible Error?
In bias-and-variance analysis, you first want an estimate of the smallest error a system could reasonably achieve on a task. That estimate gives you a reference point for deciding whether later mistakes are mainly due to a model that is too simple, a model that is too sensitive to the training data, or unavoidable task difficulty.
