The kitchen isn't fake and who's to say no one noticed? The article certainly doesn't say that, it says that a virtual model was made.. including of the CEO. Maybe I'm being fooled by rendering, but for more than a few minutes he stands slightly out of focus (a risk of IRL video), which doesn't seem like something you'd go to the trouble of rendering (not for a keynote where things should be perfect). Of course, now I've pointed that out maybe future fakers will consider this.

Anyway, back to the kitchen... as they said on "The Wire" follow the spatulas. On camera-left there are red, orange and pink spatulas (https://youtu.be/eAn_oiZwUXA?t=1079), they even move (https://youtu.be/eAn_oiZwUXA?t=1990).. presumably inconsistency across multiple takes and editing. Also note what's on the counter to his right. At the point they switch to the virtual kitchen (https://youtu.be/eAn_oiZwUXA?t=6470), we get the "unnecessary blurry zoom effect" (used in TV to save interpolation on eg the living room -> house -> city -> country -> planet zoom out).. now the items to his right are different (there was no American flag in that white dish just now) - there's less items, and the spatulas... well even the modellers refused to make so many, dropping the orange, red, and, pink ones from the container.
