It can give us a clue to what has happen.

This was not a question about what/why lego did this. It is about vintage collectible
sealed items that are considered mint/correct when sealed and only after opening
can be proven otherwise.

I always take pictures of the seals, if applicable.
It would be the responsibility of the builder to communicate any facts, after
the fact.

That is a cool set!
