Continuity mistake: At the bachelor party, Kevin Kline has a cigar in his mouth. In one shot, it's whole, the next it's frayed, then in the NEXT, it's whole again.

Continuity mistake: When Peter is telling Howard about coming out (while sitting at the side of the road), Howard's hand is up near his face in all but one shot.

Kristal

Continuity mistake: The cake Howard's mom has in the car is different from the cake at the reception when the ladies are talking.

Continuity mistake: When Kevin Kline goes to school the day after the awards show, the press chase him to one of the school doors. When the scene is shot from outside, the door opens into the building and he is pushing it open, but immediately after when the shot is from inside of the school and he is closing the door, it opens outwards and he is pulling it closed.

Suggested correction: When he goes into the school the Press follow him and he doesn't even close the outside school door. The door that they show him closing is the door to his classroom.

Answer: He made an assumption, based on certain things he'd observed, which turned out to be true. Other people in town must clearly have had similar ideas about Howard - witness all the Streisand albums at his bachelor party - but Cameron was probably just the first one to voice it aloud. And it was just as well for Howard, because it set him on the road to discovering the truth about himself.
