Has Buzzfeed gotten specific as to what they got wrong yet?

I see they are standing behind the main gist of the article so their sources must be standing behind what they told buzzfeed but they surely must have made some kind of minor mistake, right? Any indication of what they got wrong? Or perhaps Mueller doesn't like them showing the cards too soon?

What are the best guesses as to what is going on here?

jumped too far when they said Trump directly ordered Cohen to lie vice Cohen lying for Trump being business as usual and not something he would have to be told to do at this point.
