Actually, Use pytz Instead: Question regarding syntax during the video lecture

Dear Kenneth, I have question regarding 07:27 of the video Actually, Use Pytz Instead.

When you typed in auckland instead of pacific, you actually broke the line of code, and it still worked for some reason.

Instead of apollo_13_utc.astimezone(aukland).strftime(fmt)

You typed apollo_13_utc.astimezone(auklandme(fmt)

Instead of apollo_13_utc.astimezone(mumbai).strftime(fmt)

You typed apollo_13_utc.astimezone(mumbaiime(fmt)

How did this code even pass through?
