r/totalrecall

Something that popped into my head:

Why, when they are trying to 'trick' Quaid into thinking he's still inside the machine at the company do they use the guy from the advert?

If he still is in the machine why would his mind show him? He's just the advert guy, why not the guy who put him in the machine or sold him the trip?

If they are trying to trick him, why the advert guy? That'd stick out like a sore thumb to me as why would the TV ad guy come all the way into my 'mind' to help fix me?
