I recall someone telling Spielberg during Jaws that shooting an oxygen tank won't cause an explosion but he insisted (and I think rightly in that case) that explosion would be more cinematic (and Simpsons really took this to heart). | |

There is of course the more Doylist expanation that the writers didn't think about the timeline that carefully. | |
