And Horner’s Irish pipes.

As you said, it doesn’t matter. However, the Irish pipes were a logical decision and conscious choice, not a mistake. Irish pipes give the same basic sound sensibility as Scottish pipes, but are much better suited to be integrated within an orchestra. So that was not an fallacy but an obvious choice, as it gave Horner the coloring that he wanted without the problems of Scottish pipes within an orchestra setting/studio. Since Horner’s music was underscore anyway and not within the narrative, it didn’t matter what he used anyway.
