Humans tend to blunder because of pressure. Kramnik was faced with a difficult defense of a Q+N ending, and just cracked. Ask Kasparov about his problems against Genius in a Q+N ending in the Intel Grand Prix. Computers are known to be very tough there, and perhaps Kramnik was preoccupied with this very thought during the game. As for the simplicity of the blunder, these kind of things happen all the time in chess clubs. One strong player will make a simple blunder to another, and a weaker player watching will wonder why they don't make such blunders against him? The answer of course is that the weaker player doesn't put them under enough pressure.
