Having read the articles at the links I am minded to use the examples of Air to Surface weapon deliveries as comparators.

I have graded (and had graded) any number of attacks where any or all of the following would be true: an attack was off LOA, high, low, velocity vector placement questionable, pitch control inadequate, cross wind allowance not quite right, pickle position early or late, comms incorrect, late arm discipline poor, incorrect attack mode, wrong height source, fast, slow, G on recovery inadequate - or even an over stress.

If you look hard enough every single attack will contain some mistake, maybe multiple mistakes; the worst I ever saw was by a squadron CO and test pilot (who still managed a DH).

I find the notion that multiple mistakes can only be explained by CI to be contrary to what I’ve experienced.

I accept the ruling that they may have been caused by CI.
