There was a commonality among the authenticators that made these errors. They all purport to authenticate most designer brands. Authentication greatly varies from brand to brand, and each brand requires a lot of expertise specific to the brand. So, if there is one piece of useful advice that we can glean from this...... be skeptical of the accuracy of any authentication service that covers a plethora of designers.
