Why did they leave the mirror goofs in the Blu Ray cut?


For those of you who don't know what I'm referring to, at 18:31 during the fight scene in the belly dancer's dressing room, a mirror gets bumped and the entire camera crew can be seen for about an entire second. There's another one at frame 29:42. Not as bad, one crewmember can be seen in a mirror for a split second. A retarded mistake IMO, especially for a Bond film. When it was restored for Blu Ray, Lowry Digital Restoration gave MGM the option to have them correct the goofs. For whatever reason I can't for the life of me begin to understand, MGM chose to leave them in. Roger Moore's Bond was more lighthearted and comical but still, this is a Bond film not a Leslie Nielson film. Why not take them out? It's just simply a matter of touching up.

Personally, I'm disappointed whenever goofs are removed from any film. It's fun looking for them and the filmmakers shouldn't take themselves too seriously anyway.
