It is very easy to search for and list any inconsistencies as soon
as you have decided what to search for. It takes more brain, or
technology, to find the terms to search for though.

I think that this one is unnecessary; in all other cases, items
require the same space in the Herb Pouch as in the Backpack, so
I cannot see anyone doubt that it's three pods in one space also
in the Backpack.

I seem to remember starting to look at inconsistent capitalization
in the early LW books once but giving up quickly due to the amount
of findings... this is a huge can of worms that I think we can
keep unopened for a while without losing too much in quality.
