From what I recall, it was in the episode where Goku was with Kaio, and was searching for New Namek. Kaio was talking to Goku, annoying him, and in the dub he said something like "you know Instant Transmission? I could have taught it to you if you'd asked", or something like that.

I know that you can create many theories on this but really, movies are not to be trusted when we talk about the real story (manga).
But the list is listing things from the anime, not the manga. Movie 13 is part of the anime, and going by that, the whole Tapion incident apparently happened in some form, and eventually Hildegarn died, and Trunks kept the sword. My guess is that Trunks killed Tapion while he had Hildegarn sealed inside of him.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Yeah, that was in a recent Toriyama interview. It's posted somewhere on the site.

Number 3 - Lies.
Number 6 - Based on Hitler but clearly not him.
Number 9 - As explained, Piccolo Junior is a special case, Dende grows normally... ish.
Number 18 - Debatable, all the heroes are gone but all the villains are gone too, so the remaining humans are left to reconstruct, it wasn't exactly "left to rot".
Number 19 - Debatable, it was implied in order to symbolize main timeline Trunks' growth, but it makes no sense that the alternate timeline Trunks got it the same way.
Number 22 - Not entirely true, Nappa goes bald.
Number 23 - Filthy lies. Probably dub bullshit.
Number 30 - Started of okay, until they claimed that Gero is Kuririn's father-in-law, that makes zero sense.
Number 32 - I doubt that the inclusion of Goku is a mistake. Yajirobe must have been though.
Number 40 - Pocky sticks are awesome.
Number 42 - Lies and slander.
Number 49 - That explains a lot.

Everything else is either dumb facts or kinda obvious.

Because most people only watched a cut version of the movie.
