I think points 2 and 3 are the most valid. Penn's alleged ignorance of proportional allocation is hilarious; although he's since denied it. But even if it's not true, the campaign's continuous whining (and that of their supporters) make it plain that they thought the big states would be all that matter.
And giving Obama a free ride in the caucus states was a terrible miscalculation. Giuliani showed the folly of putting all your eggs in one basket. Clinton repeated the mistake.
