That's UF-faux paux in SF terms.

A  UF-faux paux occurs when you have the flying saucer over Rio broadcasting 
"Take me to your leader" in Spanish.

Now in Sundiver you have an intel agent scurring about looking for a camera.

In 2004 this becomes a very funny line.

It's a faux past, and no one has ever shown the ability to avoid having at 
least a few of them show up as time goes by.
