The weirdest mistake in a Lego instruction I've ever seen is this:

Look at the second step in mirror subassembly. Look at the 1x1 bricks
(both the one with hole and the regular one) How this could be possible
if they are using a 3D CAD program to prepare instructions?

How did you notice this? It's such a minute mistake!
Notice that the opposite mirror in the lower subassembly is fine and in fact
it's the same as the upper one (instead of being a mirror image) except for the
hole. Perhaps that's a clue as to how they actually do the instructions.
Maybe they have a basic brick and they can add holes and other features to it.

talking of minute mistakes - here's another. (it was probably a late
alteration, so they didn't bother correcting the other steps)

look at the 2x1 plates in stage 7. Then look at what has happened to them by
here...

this is also visible throughout this subassembly.
