The third and especially the second mistakes seem nontrivial to me (at least, I thought about them explicitly and written them down only about a month ago, which gave me the idea of writing this article).

Just to be clear, upon actually reading them, I agree with you. It's just that on first glance they don't look like anything new and are buried fairly deep in the article, so they are easy to pass over. That's why I think it might have gone over better if you had lead with them.
