- The band's failure to object to Fletcher's drummer obsession is questioned; fear that the abuse will turn toward them explains their silence.
- Andrew's family underestimating his musical achievement is challenged, while his father's concern is defended as recognizing unhealthy obsession despite elite-school success.
- Renting a car at nineteen instead of finding a faster ride and leaving a crash scene raise practical nitpicks; the sequence's heightened absurdity is defended without claiming Andrew literally dreams it.
- Fletcher sabotaging his own public JVC performance to punish Andrew is the largest shared nitpick because it threatens his reputation and livelihood despite his love of jazz.
