I understand what you are saying Cablerunner. I remember back to season one in an interview with someone of Lost, producers director, writers, or someone, and they were saying that all the props were very important, basically, not much was just there for the heck of it. I don't doubt that there are production errors, but I believe if the makers of Lost show you something they are doing it for a reason, they want you to take note - they are not stupid, they know fans go over every inch of the show with a fine-toothed comb.
