Corrected entry: How exactly did the Institute get the results back from Lincoln Six Echo's brain scan? Lincoln "disposed" of them after he had already left the Institute, so there was no way they could retrieve the information. Even if they sent out signals to receivers inside the Institute, they wouldn't have a complete brain scan because he left too early.

Corrected entry: Merrick is supposedly breaking numerous laws against euthanasia by creating sentient clones, yet has a staff of hundreds working at the clone factory as though they were making shoes. He couldn't possibly hope to keep things secret running things the way he did. Does he really think someone like Steve Buscemi could be trusted with such a secret?
Correction: You'd be surprised what you can get people to do, and once they're associated with such activities they can't 'go public' lest they be arrested as well. Not to mention the pay is probably very good.

Corrected entry: Falling from a 40 story building would kill a person. even if they did land in a net.
Correction: Stuntmen do it all the time- obviously they land in carefully positioned airbags, but it is possible to survive a fall that high or higher. Though it is extremely unlikely.

Corrected entry: When Ewan McGregor enters the hospital through the loose floorboard, he doesn't close it all the way, yet when they show the hallway were the floorboard is supposed to be it is in place again. When he comes back, the floorboard is back in the same position he left it.
Correction: We don't see the first hallway again until he returns to it to leave, so we never see it 'back in place'.

Correction: They followed Echo's trail to the bathroom and/or picked up their homing signals to retrieve them. The probes did manage to complete their scan because they left through the urine just as they were designed to. What makes you think he has to be in the facility for the probes to work?
