As both a designer and primarily a developer I can tell you there hasn't been a design I couldn't implement exactly as per spec over several years.

The issue has been more a case of it would be better not to and the design being incomplete (being most frequently static mocks) it hasn't fully captured the interaction, all scenarios or device widths. Designers need to really understand the medium they are working with and meet devs halfway.

Good design is function over form and working within constraints. All too often in the industry the designs are created as though they are for print. This is in large part also due to the fact designers tooling itself was designed for print and we are just now beginning to have better tools for designing interfaces but there is a long long way to go.

I think the point they were trying to make was that even though the kids had benefitted in earlier games from helpful advice and received no benefit when given unhelpful advice that by being allowed to then succeed in the rigged game the kids failed to acknowledge the value of the earlier advice. This shown by the kids not having a preference for the more helpful person. Though I think the conclusion they are drawing would really depend on the sample size of games a kid was given in order for the kid to be able to distinguish good & bad advice from the game simply being pure chance all along.

I've never encountered width/height being ignored for a div, which defaults to display block btw. Unless you are talking about emails, which is a whole different ball game.

I wouldn't be so sure. I noticed for the first time just a few days ago my phone's contacts were showing up on Facebook as suggested friends. These weren't facebook profiles, just a name, phone number and the option to email them. I checked all my settings for facebook and messenger apps and all 'sync contacts' options were disabled and I have never enabled them. I'm on android. So, my guess is they were somehow granted permissions on installing the app and then the options to disable this actually don't do anything. If there was an option upon install to deny access to phone contacts I definitely would have denied it - if they don't provide the option to do this on install, they're being sneaky.
