This is way snarkier than the post deserved. Clearly his intention isn't to laugh at students, but to allow the students to experience a small, but not crippling, failure and to learn how to deal with the situation. Allowing students to fail in a controlled way is one of many valid approaches to mentoring. It's not like he's erasing parts of the game manual so kids can't read it or something, just not catching every single small mistake the kids make.
