re reason (2) I've also heard what may be a variation on this: even though we can't do these mitzvot themselves we can still "get credit" by learning how to do them.
re your to-look-up re reason (3) there's a rule for at least some of these mistakes (e.g. endings of brachot in shmoneh esre that change for rosh hashana through yom kippur) that if you realize in the middle you stop and redo properly.
Sorry about the stream of consciousness-ness. It's been a long week. Feel free to ask if the meaning isn't clear.
I don't know which of your theories is the correct one, or the most correct one, or even if such a characterization is valid, but for myself, the third answer has the most appeal, and those are the terms in which I always value such discussions.
