Explanation

Checking differences: 10287-8956=1331, 12015-10287=1728, 14213-12015=2198, 16956-14213=2743. These don't form clear pattern. Checking if 14213 is wrong: the pattern might be related to cubes or powers. 1331=11³, 1728=12³, 2198 breaks the pattern (should be 13³=2197), 2743 breaks pattern (should be 14³=2744). So 14213 gives difference 2198 instead of 2197, making it wrong.
