I think that's also true of people but we are kinder to each other and ourselves when judgement is bad.
How many times have you been in a conversation where you asked the wrong question or stated the wrong thing because you either weren't 100% listening (no one is), or you forgot, or you didn't connect the same dots that others did?
Treating humans differently makes sense because the "badness" of a judgement isn't just the correctness of an outcome, but also the nature of the process that created it, and humans are a different process.
For example, if two otherwise-identical humans yield the same equally-correct answer, we probably will favor the one that reached it through facts and reasoning, as opposed to the one who literally flipped a coin.

Reductionist positions seem to always pop up in these threads.
That's just humans everywhere, in all of time
It takes effort to be better about it, don't expect perfection from yourself or others
