It is dependent on the definition of 1-ply error.

The point is that I understood that based on investigation of kramnik's games at
120/40 the only case when he did something similiar was against anand.

So one of the following:
Kramnik did one 1 ply error when in the previous 100-200 games he never did it
against humans.

Kramnik did two 1 ply errors and in the previous 100-200 games against humans he
did only one 1 ply error.
