An error that's extremely common among people doing their first work on a specific domain seems like a good fit for "rookie error".

It's easy to believe most professional teams make that mistake at some point. I'd hope that it's far more rare to make that mistake twice.

No, that doesn't make sense. The errors that trip seasoned pros up are very likely to trip rookies up as well. Words mean things; rookie mistakes the mistakes that don't trip up the pros.

you're assuming the "pros" hired people with experience in the domain and retained them, and didn't let rookies do said mistakes.

Ah, the venerable "no true professional" argument. A sufficiently optimizing professional would never make these mistakes, it's true!
