When you're a VFX artist and you've been looking at the same scenes for hours a day for weeks on end, constantly scrubbing back and forth across your timeline, you just become blind to errors and mistakes and technical glitches beyond the really obvious one.

You just need a second set of eyes or put down that specific part and look at it again later with fresh eyes.

Or you let it slide because like nobody notices the one frame except for crazy fans and it just becomes a fun easter egg.

Yeah little single frame errors like that are just not worth the time fixing and re-rendering. And a lot those little errors are the vfx blindness setting in.

Especially at the time of this movie, can you imagine the computer time to re-render this scene? Weeks, at least.
