Does it annoy photographers when people interpret photographic errors (specks of dust, lens glare, wrong shutter speed) as evidence of the supernatural?

Do these photographers enlighten their clients and confess to them what the photographic errors were or do they just take the money, give them the pictures and say nothing? I think if the photographer made such an error and it ruined the picture, the client should not be charged for it nor should the error-laden picture be released. Bad for their business..not good advertising. That way no "spooky" pictures get in circulation and no one's imagination gets involved! :)

I was in a roomful of conspiracy theorists that were discussing mysterious photographs taken at a seance, and didn't feel like causing a stir by pointing out the 'distorted' looking picture was nothing more than the camera in low-light mode. Or that the large translucent orbs were specks of dust near the lens.

oh god. orbs! *snicker* A local bar was closed, and remodeled and reopened under new management. When construction was going, we sent a reporter and a photographer out there, and they came back just about crying from laughter-- the builders told them all about how the building was HAUNTED by ORBS that only showed up in pictures. Mostly it annoyed us that, when we published this, people thought our paper was thinking this was legitimate. We're not saying it's haunted by orbs! We're saying the stoner construction crew thinks it's haunted by orbs!
