I think it's a case of the public Celestia being considered perfect and infallible by most ponies but the real Celestia being "One mistake out of so many... So many others!"

Celestia probably encourages that public view of her being incapable of getting it wrong because it makes running the nation easier and I bet she covers up her mistakes when they happen. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first Cadence had ever heard about Sunset's fall and certainly the first time she'd heard her aunt admit to having got it wrong to anypony except Luna.
