As great as the creations by Toei are, they're only human. Sometimes they make mistakes. While material from official sources should always be considered, they should never be regarded as sacrosanct.
Note, this isn't meant to be a harsh criticism of Japanese people for not being native English speakers. It's just supposed to be an interesting list of stuff.
Please restrict the list to clear-cut errors. Don't list things that may potentially be correct.
