As person making the video, you just get handed some text in email that says "add these quotes"

There's no "show me the proof that these are legit". It's assumed

I wouldn't expect anyone to check. One person in the chain made them up. Everyone after that took them as legit.

> On the other hand, things like this likely get caught during production all the time and we just never hear about them.

I seriously doubt it's anyone's job to check this. Most of society runs on trust. Things would grind to a halt if every person needed a chain of trust all they way down.

After the quotes were added, did no one watch the video for quality problems before releasing it to the public? Maybe they didn't have any power to send it back to editing.
