I fully agree.

But I do think this was a poor demonstration of the idea for another reason: Tolkien works have a HUGE corpus of training data. It's great that random users can come in and immediately recognize what the footage is, but it fails at the very first thing the pelican was meant to do:

- Render this thing you have only tangential training data of, that also happens to be an asymmetrical object so we can see how much you fuck up the details if you somehow flip the orientation half the time.

They should have used an obscure story, not "Most Studied Piece of Literally Work of The Past Century trademarksymbol"
