I think I'd have to agree here, as there is just enough evidence to favour BOTH "for" & "against" - I think what we have here is a rushed CG scene that was a product of its time, unfortunately being ambiguous enough to be confusing to this day.
Colouring/lighting aside; one has to admit that he's physically rendered the scene superbly, as I'm mightily impressed with their head-sculpts myself.![]()
