In error analysis we say the error is of order $epsilon$ if the error is less than or equal constant multiple of $epsilon$.
The question is: what is the benefit we have if we can multiply by any constant we choose?

The point is that you usually don't care about the constant. If $epsilon = 10^-10$, it's more important to know whether your error bounded by $8 epsilon$ or $8 epsilon^2$ than it is to know whether your error is bounded by $8epsilon$ or $pi^2 epsilon$...
