Gameinformer Article on the Story of Destiny (Destiny)

Gameinformer has dropped a very story heavy article on Destiny. They say that the info is from the game story, grimoire and conversations with Bungie. They also say that all the info has been approved by Bungie as canon...

All of it? Even the speculation, fan theories, and apparent errors?

No, not all of it. At the very end of the first page they say:

We’ve made a point to fact-check our entire story directly with Bungie prior to publication; as such, we hope this can be an accurate and authoritative glimpse into the existing narrative. Anything not confirmed by Bungie is clearly described as such in the text.

and they thank Bungie again for sitting down with them at the end, and some things are marked as not confirmed, so I assume everything that isn't has been confirmed.
Were there things not marked out as theory that are inaccurate?

I'm going to go back and start looking closely now, but the point is, I don't like the Deep Throat approach to this. I'd much prefer that everything explicitly vetted by Bungie be sourced and quoted, or at least paraphrased, and then I'd know that everything else came from other sources or from the author, because that's what I normally assume anyway.

The situation we've got now is that what the reader thinks is meant by something might be slightly different from what the author intended which might also be slightly different from what a Bungie person thought was meant by it when they signed off on it, and since there are no direct quotes, who the heck knows?
