Agreed, except for a little nitpick on point 12.

Arcadios didn't have a 2nd set of actual keys. He had a set of dummy keys (which I interperete as them being keys that look like the real thing, but are just mundane metal). And he couldn't pull the "You win, just go with the keys" thing because he needed to switch the real and dummy ones first.

But that still leaves several stupid matters open. First, where the hell did he keep that fake box? He didn't carry it in his hands, in his armour there's not enough room and he couldn't have kept it in the Pumpkin either, because he was freaking wearing it! Second, why would he just allow Natsu and the Son to chase off with the real keys? If he needs to switch them then go freaking after them and try to do so! The mother was only interested in keeping anyone from interfering in the Son's fight, so the princess wasn't in any danger... not to mention that she was with three mages who could protect her. Third, why did he even prepare dummies in the first place? Did he expect the Spirits to somehow know about the keys and go after them?
