You're certainly enititled to that opinion.

What does the crazy way the lights sources are angled on the model have to do
with whether it's Lego or not?
Or, let me rephrase that, rather than be disingenous. I've seen someone's
suggestion that it's some sort of access hatch left open, which is what I
assume you're trying to get at. I just don't think that's the case. Given the
type of shot it is, do you really think Lego's marketing department would leave
a hatch open on it? If it were a photo grabbed to just throw into the graphic,
do you really think it ever would have been taken with the hatch open, lit the
way it is? If a marketing shot was going to be taken with the hatch open, and
at that angle, it would be lit so that you could view the interior.
Lego's marketing department has screwed up exactly one photograph that I've
ever seen- the cover of the Sith Infiltrator. And that is just shot in a
less-than-flattering way for the model, it's not incompetently lit.
