While I don't have a source, it seems clear that with sufficient training data they could do better at avoiding this mistake. This should not be hard.

Perfect accuracy in image classification is an unsolved problem. So yea, it's hard.

If Google and Facebook have both failed with the billions they have spent on the problem, I think we can say yes, it is that hard.

Obviously the people at google had thought of having more training data.
