nope..

But I think the tenor of some of the comments is "it would have been easy to make it right", and that's sort of true.

It's kind of like science/engineering inaccuracies in TV and movies (so far, I've not seen significant inaccuracies in any stage presentation, but then, there's not much science in Shakespeare).

Most producers/directors will try to get it basically right, but there's always time/money/artistic pressure. The best you hope for is no extreme gaffes, particularly if it's an incidental detail (like someone in the background sending Morse code with the mode selector on the transceiver set to AM). When they get it right, it's like finding an easter egg in software.
