Suggested correction: This mistake can only be detected by freezing the film and advancing frame by frame. It is not visible while watching the film at a normal running speed. According to the rules of this site, this invalidates the error.
So, I reworded the mistake to say that it "briefly vanishes," because it's actually gone for a few frames, not one. I did not advance frame by frame to find the error. If you watch the scene at normal speed, it disappears for a brief moment, then comes back. I assume this correction might have been made without watching the scene, especially since the show was referred to as a "film."
This is not true. You can see it disappear if you watch it at normal speed; it does not require pausing at all. At least, I am able to see it.
