Sorry, NBC explicitly said, "No computers, no hydrolics," etc. 100% human powered. All of these people have seen the dress rehearsals. There would have to be a conscious decision to deceive to make that statement and it be computer controlled. And I just don't understand what motivation you're ascribing them to create that fabrication.

Bush is the first sitting US President to attend an Olympics not held in a US city.

Well, I'll have to concede that Chinese people have incredible precision (which is the point that they would be trying to make if they were lying) but as it's obviously true, then they've proved themselves to be way more precise than most. It's all about National image, I guess.

....however if anyone got sick on the night, it would be calamitous to say the least, unless you had an understudy for every single position on the grid. This leads me to think that, at the very least, Stoat's right about there being some kind of visual aid assisting them on the night.

Human powered doesn't mean "not computer assisted".

Two news stories on the Opening Ceremonies:

Fake feet trip up Olympic opening coverage

The Whole Story

Olympic Opening Mastermind Regrets Injuries
One Story with minimal details
I am curious what the injuries were
