I'm certainly not the most aware poker player ever. I can often get lost in my phone or watching a college football game and not be aware of what happened in a hand, but no, that scenario can't happen. People can't come and go that I don't look at them to get my reads per the "player types" thread elsewhere. If I make a head call, I'm going to look at everyone when I return to see if chip stacks changed significantly or a player was replaced.
You can't blame the dealer in that set of circumstances but I am surprised that no one at the table was paying attention.
