Grandmasters do make blunders - look at Fischer getting his Bishop trapped by Spassky in his World Champ match.
Why? Because everyone makes occasional failures in deciding which things are important and unimportant in analysis and we sometimes discard important things.
Language??? "Freakin" is not swearing.

It was still a draw after the "blunder." Fischer was getting two pawns for the bishop, and knew what he was doing (sort of). Mostly it was a dead draw position and Fischer was trying too hard to win.

Anyway, the better you are, the more you're taking into account. Sometimes when working hard on a position that wont appear for 5 or 10 moves a GM misses something that can happen in between.
Or they're working so hard trying to resolve other elements that they miss a simple tactic that can be played right away.
Missing simple things is rare though, of course. Usually there's also some sort of pressure involved like the last round of an important tournament or match.
To play "Perfect" on both sides is a Draw...
To Blund[ERr] is to human...
Is it possible to play perfectly.
