No, I can't imagine that either of these points are things that are taught about Alexander Hamilton in a typical curriculum. At least on my end though, it also isn't nitpicking, because it isn't "picking" at all. I don't find these points problematic, but they are historically inaccurate. I think it's interesting to think about how the facts are manipulated for the benefit of the narration. The purpose of Hamilton isn't to convey a set of historical accuracies, so my indicating that I don't think that it does convey a set of historical accuracies is by no means an insult or "nitpicking", just an observation.
