It's happened to me before while writing and I'm certain it's happened to him too.

I'm not denying that it wasn't poor writing on Kubo's part mind you, I'm just pointing out that it isn't inconsistent story-wise, or "in-universe". Kubo just has to notice it and follow through with it or it WILL leave a blatant inconsistency. Maybe an "Oh look, I was wrong!" from the character that previously made that confident assumption.

It's baseless, true, but it's the only
in-universe explanation. "Kubo's writing is poor", while it might be true, don't have anything to do with justifying actions in-universe, which seems like the main concern.
