Now whether it was Cobb or someone else who traced it over is anyone's guess. But most importantly, there should definitely be a disclaimer in the description which brings this obvious anomaly to light.
You managed to say it more succinctly than me but this is exactly how I feel about it! If you read all of my post I get all these points in there somewhere.
