How didn't Tommy know?

Renton asks to borrow "100 Greatest Goals", Tommy says yes. When he and Lizzy copulate, they watch their video. However, the video that comes on is not their sex tape, but "100 Greatest Goals". We know that's the video, as we saw Rention swapping those tapes around and the footage that comes on the TV in front of Tommy very much looks and sounds like something from "100 Greatest Goals".

Now, if you were Tommy, would your immediate thought not be Renton? He asked to borrow that video, and when you put on your sex tape, that's the video that comes on instead... Seems very suspect. I don't feel like it's something that Renton could just casually shake off either. If Tommy actually quizzed him I think it would get obvious quick, especially if he asked Renton to give him back the tape he borrowed.

Is this not a plothole? Am I missing something?

So, I can finally do clean pinch harmonics. For the past while I was only able to get the harmonic by playing the string and then quickly brushing with my thumb, which always produced the fundamental beforehand. However, I've found out how to produce a pinch harmonic from the get go, without having to sound the fundamental first.

The secret was pick grip. After going back to some videos I readjusted my grip, and by exposing far less pick and using more thumb, I can finally get that clean harmonic, consistently! Which makes me very happy.

The problem is I find it quite hard to play riffs with this grip. My fingers/thumbs on the pick are basically brushing off the strings when I play like this. But at the same time it's impossible to switch between pick grips mid song.

Is it just a matter of getting used to and adapting to playing riffs with this kind of grip? Or is there something I'm overlooking?
