Which is worse is impossible to say, but both were very "human" mistakes:

i. Kasparov - accidental transposition of moves

ii. Kramnik - accidental picking up of wrong piece (I suggest)

The whole thing seems outrageous because strong computers don't make those kinds
of blunders; theirs are more subtle, more cumulative and generally just as
fatal, although not as spectacularly so.

Rather like killing oneself slowly by eating too much chocolate, rather than
instantly by lying down in front of an express train ;)
