Mistakes made in Deathly Hallows?

The Elder Wand:  a wand that must always win duels for its owner.

Dumbledore recounts to Harry the events with Grindelwald and this seems
contradiction to what describes the Elder Wand: he knew that the two
were evenly matched, with perhaps himself a shade more skillful.  I won
the duel. I won the wand.

So if the Elder Wand must always win duels for its owner, how did
Grindelwald lose the wand to DD?

The only clear mention of a duel where elder wand is actually used is
when V uses it against Harry, it's allegiance was to Harry, the wand
backfired V's spell onto himself.

So yes, elder wand must always win duels for its owner.  But we see the
owner can change without the elder wand being used in the actual duel.

Elder wand changes allegiance to Harry when Malfoy's actual wand was
'won' when Harry duels him without the elder wand ever being in either
one's possession...

There's no details on how DD actually gains allegiance of elder wand
other than DD defeated Grindelwald in a duel, it's quite possible same
situation that takes place as HP and Malfoy, could have neither one been
dueling with the elder wand. With DD and Grindelward's past history
together in looking for the hallows/greater good, DD would be clever
enough to find a way through their prior relationship to most likely
catch him unawares, and dueling with Grindelwald not actually possessing
the wand in his hand.  After all, Olivander says DD knew he was the only
one who could stop him. So if DD knew he couldn't beat the wand, would
he just find a way take it from him?
