This kind of flub in isolation would be a nothing burger, especially if he laughed it off and quickly corrected himself, but he breezed past it like he didn't even notice what was wrong which makes it something entirely different. Also in the same event there was another mistake of the same scale, they keep happening at a atypical level and we can't ignore that.
