My gut feeling is that a real blunder is enough to loose the game.
Between equally strong players, a one point mistake can be a blunder, if
it was late in the yose, and the game was won by half a point. On the
other hand, throwing away a 20-stone group may not be a blunder if you
were already going to loose by 100 points. It could even be a
(mis?)calculated risk, ignoring a threatening move in order to get an
attack on an even larger group, even if that attack later turns out not
to work...

Just my uninformed gut feeling, of course.
