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.
