It happens to everybody from time to time. I think it happens more when you are less experienced - player, ref, coach. It doesn't matter. Each role requires a level of focus if you are going to perform effectively.
When you are new, you have to concentrate on things that are second nature to a more experienced person (in general - of course there are those who never learn!). So you lose focus for a second, and you miss something that is obvious to an experinced and skilled person. And the more experienced person is kicking themselves for not having caught an aspect of the game that you aren't even ready to engage. Because the other truism is that every level has higher expectations, so you can still screw up, you just do it on a different level!
