4. Does no one one the other side ever check?
They don't want to.
3. Is there no redress for such misrepresentation?
Yes: laugh at their desperation.
Has this already been debunked?
I thought I did on my web site, but I don't. Bad me.
The question is not why someone would write "C" on the ground so as to be visible from only the camera's point of view, but why it would be written at all.
Some people say "C" is how you mark the centerline of a stage. False. First, in film there is no "center" of a stage. Second, marks on a theatrical stage are very small, if they're there at all. Same with film. Third, the mark on a drawing that indicates the centerline is an elided "CL."
I've been in film and theater for 30 years, and none of what these people claim about film or theater is true. I've built props for professional theater -- you don't mark them. You don't mark with big letters where they go.
"C" is a very common shape: it's just a curve. If you enlarge random parts of the ground, you see all kinds of digits and letters. Do they all mean something? Now that we know the C on the rock is just a hair on a print, what makes that particular mark so important?
