I think it is NOT a mistake unless:
1) He calls too much on the turn (relative to his true outs)
2) He never is currently ahead (say you hold the current nuts, but could still lose on the river).
So, lets say you have TT overpair and villain has AK (6 outs) but will fold if you bet enough to deny him odds (1/2 pot or actually less, but I am assuming practically that you rarely bet <1/2 pot). You cannot force him to make a mistake on turn, but by checking you get him to make a mistake MOST of the time on the river.
