It's good to have a meaningful discussion about this, and you raise some excellent points. Until I implemented an admin "fast-track" approval in the Parts Tracker I'd been wary of making these kinds of header-only changes for fear that it would just invite people to make other improvements to those, further clogging the Parts Tracker with fixes to parts for which a useable version already exists.
I'll take a look at your list and fix those that are obvious mistakes.
Attached is a count of parts by CATEGORY (implicitly and explicitly defined) to 2013-01, which will no doubt stimulate more debate.
We should do what we can to help users of the library, so I do support the main thrust of this thread regarding patterned parts and duplo and am open to suggestions.
