I think you might be overthinking it.
Can't help it. I also notice every time a character on film racks a shotgun, moves into another room and racks it again without ejecting a shell, every time someone fires more than six rounds from a revolver without reloading. I see when drink levels in a glass change back & forth between camera angles in a scene or, in a recent example, the position of bottles in a six-pack carton switch depending on who's face the camera's on in the scene. I'm the guy who thinks that virtually every continuity editor in Hollywood should be fired. I still get annoyed by the fact that Stephen King's first mention of Barby's rank in "Under the Dome" has him a captain but every subsequent mention of it ranks him a lieutenant. I'm the guy who wants to throttle scientists for referring to monatomic-layer materials as "2D" or "two dimensional" when they know better (a single atomic thickness is STILL THICKNESS). Just the way I'm wired, I guess.
