Two points:
  1. Never assume anything. Ever. Especially when it comes to Beatty.
  2. How do we know if the field was finished here? Maybe they laid the tape down afterwards
Still...tape tracking is horrendously slow, from what I've seen. I don't know what they're doing, but I'd guess that it doesn't involve the tape...even though we have no proof of that.
