Suggested correction: What were they meant to do, stick a real person in that scene?

This is not a valid correction at all. Per the site's rules, explaining why a mistake happened does not negate the fact it's still a mistake. They could have easily just framed the shot so it wouldn't be so obvious, and this mistake would have been avoided.
