Commentary for Sukkah 83:4

מהו דתימא התם הוא דטעה בדבר מצוה פטור היינו דעבד מצוה אבל הכא דטעה בדבר מצוה ולא עבד מצוה אימא לא קא משמע לן

What might you have thought? There [in the mishnah] he is not liable when he errs in connection with a mitzvah, because he performs a mitzvah, but here where he erred in connection with a mitzvah but he does not perform another mitzvah, I might have said that he is liable, therefore he informs us [that even here he is exempt].
