Goofs

Ted's professor calls him a "beta male" during his MK-ULTRA session in the 1950s. The term was not applied outside of the animal behavioural context until the 1990s.

During Ted's childhood flashback, Ted is shown playing in the woods and discovers the body of an old car. The vehicle has no windows, chassis or interior, and appears sitting neglected with plant life growing over the body. However, there are several indicators that this car isn't in-fact neglected and has actually been recently prepared for a respray. The car has several raw steel panels that are still shiny and untarnished, and the exterior of the body has been repaired with body-filler, which has recently sanded and feather edged, further signs of paint prep. Further, most body-fillers weren't on the market until 1955, three years after the scene is meant to have taken place. Finally, the passenger's door on the vehicle appears to have recently been painted orange and features a polished door handle obvious to the viewer.

It is also sadly worth noting that the condition of the vehicle, which was obviously prepared for painting, leaves the body very susceptible to rusting. Unfortunately, as this vehicle has now been exposed to the elements in this state, the prop would now likely have to immediately undergo another paint preparation from scratch in order to prevent imminent rusting of the steel. In other-words, not only does this prop have the potential to ruin a viewers suspension of disbelief, but also the people responsible for it's condition needlessly damaged it in the process.

It's shown that Ted wrote "David how do you know it's to late to change." The first "to" should have been a "too", it's a spelling mistake that wouldn't have passed to someone obsessed with perfectionism, experience in writing and a 168 IQ.
