What is the difference here: son propre défaut vs. son défaut ?
Chacun a son propre défaut.
I think that the above locution has the same sense as «Chacun a son défaut.»; however it was marked incorrect on the quiz.
Please advise the difference.

"son défaut" = his fault
"son propre défaut" = his own fault
