Is "misjudging" a fly ball a hit?

Well, a hit is done with a bat, and misjudging a fly usually is not.
But seriously, scorers look at whether the fly ball could have been caught with "ordinary effort" (this term appears several times in the discussion of scoring base hits in 10.05). If a "misjudged" fly could have been caught with ordinary effort, then score the error; otherwise, score the base hit.
There might be other possibilities as well: sacrifice, etc.
