But some of the dates have errors, which one might, in some applications like to find.

And alternatively, how well a scene matches the audience's clear indicators of era is valuable in entertainment – even moreso than accuracy, in some cases.

Again, I don't think these are likely motivations for this particular system. But in a wide world of many aims, it's within the realm of possibiity that someone might try a system like this for such purposes.
