Plus you could argue the plastic skeleton might not have been anatomically correct either. Unless The Apprentice producers carefully measured each bone to ensure they were proportionally accurate, etc.”

Indeed. Anatomically correct could mean all bones depicted, in the right sizes and proportions, or it could mean in 3 D too (was the paper one 3 D when built? ) Or does it mean the correct weight too - as bones would be - if you didn't count all the missing insides - but plastic wouldn't - as it weighs less.
The subteam just were told it was made of paper - there was no way of knowing if that meant thin cut outs, or 3 D paper mache - as far as we know, they were never told it was in a flat box, or saw it.
