This is 100% true, but in this case, a wheelchair user wouldn't be able to get past the robot on this narrow sidewalk––who would end up in traffic to get by? Certainly better infrastructure would give enough room for both...

Having a post-acceptance figure integrity check definitely helps catch issues as small as typos, or as large as something like this, but the person doing this would need to be paid (gasp!). So a lot more gets foisted on to academic editors and reviewers.

Yeah I used to do post-acceptance science editing for a journal (in fact, that's how @planteditors.bsky.social got started) and it's remarkable how much figure stuff slips through review. I think you're right about having the figures at the very end contributing.

Gorgeous! Next year, I'm adding a gin drink, that's brilliant––between that and the 8 different plant species in Penzey's Pie Spice, I'll be in #Plantsgiving heaven!

Ah wait, 18––forgot I put some lemon juice in the grape pie, so two citrus, Citrus × latifolia (I cannot be arsed to juice key limes) and Citrus limon.

So 17 species, 8 of which were pie spices, haha!

Wow, the species in Penzey's pie spice really add up: cinnamon (Chinese so probably Cinnamomum cassia, Korinje, so C. burmannii, and Vietnamese, probably C. loureiroi?), vanilla, mace/nutmeg (both Myristica fragrans), ginger, anise seed, and clove.

Otherwise, the expected grasses (wheat and sugarcane), a nice Brassica (cauliflower), apples, olives (as oil), black pepper, and citrus (limes in Key lime pie).
