why do we need to specify the route again in handler methods, and why it's absolute

in this example in the class attribute, we used "api/[controller]", but the handler method has author attribute that uses an absolute path, I don't understand why it exists in the first place, and why its absoulte

You don't need to

namespace MyBGList.Controllers;

[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class ErrorController : ControllerBaee
{
    [HttpGet("error")]
    public IActionResult Error()
    {
        return Problem();
    }
}

namespace MyBGList.Controllers;

[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class ErrorController : ControllerBaee
{
    [HttpGet("error")]
    public IActionResult Error()
    {
        return Problem();
    }
}

thanks, that's what I expected and I was confused by the example from a book I'm reading I expect this to map to api/error/error
