I kind-of feel vindicated that another pilot had the same mild
distractions
in the pattern, was setting his flaps as always and never noticed at
each of

You shouldn't, it really just indicates both of you have a problem.

Mmm, yeah, but the real lesson here is it's foolish to mock someone for a

Anybody can **** up anything on any airplane at any time. Looking around
constantly for the error you are almost certainly making at any given
moment is the hallmark of a really good aviator.
