I suggest that MD might be playing some sort of game here, although it isn't clear what the agenda might be.

He could easily have said to the expert "Yes, we leave the old bulbs in place because of X". I doubt that things
are that tightly scripted he couldn't have done that.


You miss the point.GW is not live to air. You're watching a recorded,
edited, shorter version of film and sound track which took many hours
and repetitions to film and record on several different cameras.

It's entirely possible, his script did say that and so did he, on film
or on the sound recording. Then it was edited out, when all the
material filmed was selected, edited, and re-organised to fit into 40
minutes.
