Carriere mentions something to that effect (you can see the boom mike descend all "Living in Oblivion" like in The Secret Lives of Dentists as well)- it's just a matter of human fallacy. I mean, on the other end are things like the watch on Russell Crowe's arms in Gladiator, etc. He talks briefly about tons of editors, going through the film hundreds of times, and still something slips through. It's pretty crazy, the things we choose to see.
