- Carl waiting to examine Frank's wallet in the hotel is an implausible delay attributed jokingly to DiCaprio's persuasive presence.
- Frank's sudden Atlanta-to-New-Orleans transition and Carl reaching France despite denied travel permission feel choppy and insufficiently explained.
- Medical impersonation should require more than television knowledge, and Frank looks implausibly young to have completed both legal and medical training; the authority of uniforms is offered as a partial explanation.
- Modern easily checked résumé lies seem less innocently plausible than old cons; a hypothetical false Grantland application illustrates the difference, explicitly contrasted with the actual blogging background.
