PARK-PSEUDO does not always describe the monument (by design?) #26

Usually, examining the park in the Tokyo model will describe the monument:

>EXAMINE PARK
It's Tokyo Central Park, filled with little plastic trees and shrubs, and little
plastic people sitting on little plastic benches. Tokyo's Main Street stops on
the west side of the park then continues on the east side of the park. In the
eastern half of the park there is a monument. There is a Big Diamond Ring
perched on top of the monument.

But once the chihuahua reaches the park, it no longer will. See PARK-PSEUDO, the case where DOG-LOC is 6.

>EXAMINE PARK
It's Tokyo Central Park, filled with little plastic trees and shrubs, and little
plastic people sitting on little plastic benches. Tokyo's Main Street stops on
the west side of the park then continues on the east side of the park. In the
western half of the park you can't help but notice the out-of-place Atomic
Chihuahua. A tiny truck is near some plastic trees in the eastern half of the
park.

This seems a bit inconsistent with examining the entire city:

>EXAMINE TOKYO
It's the scale model of downtown Tokyo used in the movie "Atomic Chihuahuas From
Hell." In the center of the model is Tokyo Central Park. In the eastern half of
the park there is a monument. There is a Big Diamond Ring perched on top of the
monument. Stretching east and west from the park is Tokyo's main street. There
is an Atomic Chihuahua in the park. The entire model is covered by a thick
plastic dome. Outside the dome on the model there are five buttons: a blue
button, a black button, a green button, a white button and a red button.

But I don't know if it's worth fixing or not.
