Looking at the comments of when people cry FOUL and GOOF, I would say most certainly yes. It appears that people want everything to be presented to them on a platter and if it isn't, then the movie is in error.
Two examples. First, a classic in You Only Live Twice where 007 tells Moneypenny that he took a first in oriental languages at one of those English schools......but then has "Tiger", head of Japanese SIS, translate a document for him.
FOUL, people cry, a continuity error. But......Hello, we are watching a spy movie. Bond just met Tiger and has to know if he can trust him by having him translate what he has already read.
I was watching a few months ago fantasy flick, low grade perhaps, where the sorceress to be who was carrying a broken unicorn horn is pushed into the muck by the knight.....yet in the scenes to follow, her dress is pristine again. FOUL they cry!
In Unicorn lore, a horn that touches water can purify it. Since she is a sorceress, to be, and she is carrying a horn, it is plausible at least that this magical event has occurred, hence why her dress is clean of the muck.
BUT, as said, I think so often these days, people just take movies at face value and never consider the possible explanations.
