Slips in the videos

I've noticed in this entire JS track that there are multiple instances where when the instructor goes to the console, the elements section does not match what we've done in our HTML files in workspaces. For example, in this video, when we go to see the results of 

ng-click='helloWorld()'

the elements in the developer tools display that <body> also contains 

class='ng-scope'

and 

<div ng-controller='mainCtrl' class='list'>

also contains 

class='list ng-scope'

We did not include those changes/additions in the instruction leading up to this.

Yes coming from a new user experience, this can be confusing to grasp. The JS code is injected into the clients HTML browser or 'DOM' automatically when you run the program.
