::::I am going to remove it because it is NOT a production error. I am not sure how many times you want me to say that. It simply does not belong in that section, period. I am going to elevate the issue to prevent an edit war.

:::::I hate to step into an argument, but I think theirs some confusion of intent. Production errors happen all the time, and the actions behind they are frequently intended. Some crew member etched the letters into the button ''intentionally''. The make-up artist created the burn on her hand to spell out the letters that the Doctor put on the remote. Someone probably drew out the design so that the letters were written roughly the same way in the same size. The error comes from not noticing that an indentation cannot create a burn. It's a production error, just the same way that the letters not being backward on Clara's hand would be a production error. | |||
:::::This ''could'' easily have been purposefully. Directors leave in continuity errors all the time that they are aware of because there are more important reasons for keeping the shots the way they are. Maybe everyone knew that the message on the remote should be raised, but the prop didn't look as good or read as well. Or maybe no one noticed, either way: | |||
:::::This isn't a plot hole. Consider this: a script calls for the Doctor to put a hat on his head in one scene, get the hat knocked off in another scene, and adjust the hat to fit more comfortably in the scene immediately after. We'd consider that a production error. This, likewise is a production error. Is the burn on Clara's hand important to the plot? Yes, of course. Are the letters on the remote important to the plot? Yes. Is it important to the plot that the letters be carved instead of raised? No. That's the difference.
