Talking about the weaknesses of the franchise as a whole that have developed as far back as R2 and have boiled over with the release of Roze. I do think I have a pretty good understanding of the series, but given how much ground there is to cover and one of my primary criticism is how things can be unclear or even contradictory it is inevitable I will get some things wrong. Especially when the fandom wiki has incorrect information or no information at all, and there are no other sources to refer to.
