Regarding stick and rudder skills of the top people, anyone, including them, have bad takeoffs and landings. Percentage wise, they will be less than the average pilot, but they are NOT exempt from screwing it up. Again, I have seen top pilots do ugly things in the pattern that would have got them bounced from a checkride. Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes.

The difference between midairs and all other cause of accidents is that it is the only type which you can do almost nothing to prevent it, except using flarm. See and avoid fails to prevent midairs. Yet this is the only type of accident which can be avoided by using relatively low cost and easy to install technology.
