Though Lamech names Noah "comfort", saying he will comfort us, there is no record of Noah comforting anyone who was alive when Noah was born. To the contrary, Noah's Grandfather, Methuselah, dies the year of the flood (perhaps in the flood), while Noah sails happily away. This is not strictly a Biblical error, since Lamech could simply be wrong to name this child "Noah", but is a point to ponder nonetheless.
