Character mistake: Archimedes says he told Arthur not to pull the sword out of the stone. He didn't, he pointed it out in the churchyard to him instead.

Suggested correction: Archimedes was trying to be helpful when he pointed out the sword so Merlin could take it to the tournament. But after it became a big issue with the rays from heaven and the legend, Archimedes thought he might get in trouble so tried to act innocent by fibbing. It was deliberate and in character, not a character mistake.
