Apparent inconsistencies in our scientific understanding of comets

I am starting this thread out of frustration at the lack of relevant content in the The Electric Comet Theory /SAFIRE Part V thread.

I hope this thread can be a place to discuss apparent inconsisencies in, and ask questions about, the contemporary understanding of comets. Scientifically.
