In a set like this, making such mistakes would not be difficult if one didn't pay attention to what they were doing. And, we all know how sloppy some techinicians could be. The objective was usually not neatness. It was usually "get it fixed ASAP, get paid, and get it out the door". I can see how it would be easy to have that attitude if you had 50 TV's waiting their turn for the bench.
