The thing is that it's easy to look up if it's a rocket or not, before posting. (i.e here https://spaceflightnow.com/launch-log/[1][2] ). Then if someone posts a video like that here we know that it is not a rocket.

It's easy to lookup ... if you already know it's Space-X / a rocket. Given just the photo and not knowing, I don't know what I'd enter into the search to find the answer. Though, there is Google reverse image search.

EDIT: It's hard to 'forget' and imagine what went through our heads the first time we saw this imagery.
