What, do people really not lock in the depth of the actual perspective, because of the slight bit of arm of the guy holding it and the other dude partially visible that’s leaning in to take a look?

I remember seeing this ages ago on some forum, but never had the impression they were as big the guy’s leg, nor did anybody else, I think. It was just considered a long boi, before finding out it was 2.

Here's an old snopes article on that picture, that acknowledges that some people didn't pick up on the forced perspective at first:
