  • The shared-credit ruling was not a 1991 Air Force ruling. Formal shared credit was published in 1978, while 1991 was an advisory-review stage and Secretary Donald Rice upheld the split later.

  • This overstates the wartime destruction. Official and government-backed sources say the Golden Pavilion was not the only structure to survive the Ōnin War.
