This wouldn't be the first time you've seen nothing in the background. I double-majored in film and did matte-work. Did you ever study a decent 8mm print of the Z film with a grain focus analyzer? Being reversal stock, a background plate would have more grain than a matted foreground image. If you can briefly set your arrogance aside, I dare you. Do a grain comparison, then publish the...

Interesting interest: motion picture special effects. Like in the Zapruder film? Of course, in those pre-digital days, they had to use optical printers, rotoscoping and traveling mattes, but they got the job done. Didn't they.
