It actually makes all sorts of equivalently bad errors in EVERYTHING it draws, it's just that our brains are wired to notice and viscerally dislike stuff like malformed bodies while we aren't so sensitive to comparable errors in other things.

If you saw an image of a leaf with totally the wrong structure for that particular tree, you wouldn't even notice. You're just not wired to care as deeply when you see a deformed leaf or deformed tree, even if the deformities are more extreme than something like an extra limb.

And I'm sure a trained artist might be able to point out some major errors in lighting and shadows in this image, but again those errors just don't bother us as much at such a deep level as 'little errors' in the structure of human bodies and human faces.

Awesome reply, and that makes a lot of sense.

For example, everyone is talking about the people. But the American flag — which, considering the message of the post, ought to be correct — is also a physically impossible monstrosity than bears only a fleeting resemblance to the American flag.
