Boy Meets Dummy - S6-E9

Factual error: In this episode, Jack asks Felipe how he can bring Mr. Angelino to The Apartment, in which he answers "We took the Santa Monica freeway to the Cloverfield exit." The Cloverfield exit is in reality, a good 2 miles or so from the beach (2 other exits are much closer to beach than this). Yet throughout the series, it is implied that The Apartment is very close to the beach (3 blocks is stated by Jack in a much earlier episode). Why a far exit for a beach-area apartment?

Suggested correction: Correcting my own entry: I just recently saw this episode for the first time in a long time. Felipe actually says the "Centinela" exit (not "Cloverfield"). Technically this even adds to the mistake as it is one exit even FURTHER from the beach area apartment. Now 3 miles away exiting (instead of 2 as previously submitted).
