3. The flaws of "How to Read Donald Duck" come from it being a pioneering work --Dorfman & Mattelart had no literature to draw on & didn't understand production process of Disney comics (and also how they were changed in translation in Latin America).

Don Rosa later... I don't know, "retconned"? "Clarified"? This into the one time Scrooge didn't deal fairly and it resulted in him being hunted by a voodoo zombie for decades.

Barks got his worldview (how it looked and how it was viewed) largely from back issues of National Geographic. Some of his takes were certainly problematic (I also think of Bombie the Zombie) but, like Herge, I think he stretched and grew as he learned.

Yep. Lots of parallels between Barks and Herge.
