3. They are not 100% compostable. Only 20% of their makeup has to be compostable. That's why #1 and #2 are true; because 80% of the components that make up the bag will not compost.
4. They produce methane while they are in landfills.
5. They're made with polymerized plastic - which is plastic, which requires fossil fuels to make, exactly the same fossil fuels that normal plastic bags use.

Plastic is forever!
