Yeah, but no.  You have to look at the edit as if an audience is seeing it for the first time.  That scene is setting up a detail that pays off later in the story.  Without the setup, the audience doesn't have that "Aha!" moment with Doc later on - it becomes something that Marty just pulls out of nowhere and comes off looking like lazy storytelling.
