Hearing inconsistencies

Then, I ask, why in TTT Extended Edition did Denethor tell Boromir to go to Rivendell? First of it was totally opposite from the book, second why send Boromir? Was this PJ just trying to show Denethor's early "craziness" or was it that PJ just kind of forgot the script of TTT? The other one I could think of was when Pippin had just looked into the Palantir and Gandalf decided to ride to Minas Tirith. Gandalf said "it's 3 days as the nazgul flies...etc." First it took Gandalf and Pippin 3 days to get there just riding, so that would me the nazgul flying would definately take less. If there are any others anyone noticed, please share them.

1)Doesn't the fact that Denethor sends Boromir to an important council at Rivendell make it logical that he is considered the 'Alpha-son'?

2)Shadowfax is really fast. hahahahahaha

Gandalf was simply stating 'It'll take us three days going straight there, provided no sidetracking or pitstops'.
