> 1. Why are so many of these minor visual details about something, or spelling? Where are the people who remember different major historical events or completely different countries?

I mean… it is named after a major historical event that people misremembered.

A new one to me is from Moonraker. Jaws’ new girlfriend in the movie DOES NOT have braces… a lot of people remember the reveal of her having braces as being a big cute moment in the movie. I even did…but after having watched the scene again, I think people are experiencing a kind of “fill in the blank.” The scene would be so much better if she DID have braces. So peoples’ internal screenwriters corrected the actual movie’s mistake.
