The teaster for Infected Connection features a man called Simon Foster, yet the protagonist of the novel is Simon Parfitt. What's the deal with that?

In Infected Connection, Simon Parfitt does not make such a video - and if he had, the video would not have made it as far as YouTube (read the novel to find out why). Thus the man in the trailer is in a similar situation, but is a different individual - hence was given a similar, but distinct, name.
