Why denied? I did what you told me and put it under goof instead of trivia
Why was this denied? It was originally denied when I put it under trivia and the community forum person said it was a goof. So I resubmitted it under a goof and it was denied again. Why?

GOOF ADDITION
In every episode where they mention the food that is provided to them in the mess tent, the running joke is always how bad the food is and how everything is either World War II surplus or powdered, such as the potatoes, eggs and milk, insinuating they never seem to get fresh food, such as vegetables and fruit. Yet when Hawkeye is talking to Klinger in the mess tent kitchen, Klinger is at a table mashing real potatoes by hand and in several bowls on that table are real peeled potatoes, oranges, fresh greens, presumably lettuce, and on the floor is a large open metal container of onions and on a big giant cauldron with its lid on in the background as a pile of real beets. These items are all contrary to the running joke of how bad the food is when it comes to quality and freshness. Factual Mistake

It reads more like a continuity error than a factual mistake, but there are also two paragraphs in the goof guidelines about why such entries are not necessarily accepted for long-running series.
