There could be some merit in Ann Althouse's argument, but my sympathies lie with the commenter who wrote that 2-4 pairs of eyes will never catch what several thousands of pairs can see.

Trust me on this one: I'm a proofreader. I'm astonished sometimes when I read something for the third time, and find out what some ill-meaning person has placed there after the first two readings.

We're also talking about a situation in which the producer was probably not looking for text—he or she probably didn't even know the person who bought the costume.

There's also the issue of how carefully one would have to shoot to get the fragment "NIG" to appear properly on the "GOOD NIGHT" pajamas. There's no way you'd get that on the first take if that's really what you were going for.

So all we need to know is how many re-takes there were on that particular shot. That will tell us.

UPDATE: More on "NigGate" from Althouse.
