The date was fixed by Rome, not by Mithraism, which did not come from Rome. Arguing that the usually wrong traditional Rome date was authoritative within Mithraism, which venerated the actual astronomical event, is a problematic assumption not supported by any data.

You are the one who said it was "really on the 21st but they were wrong". So your own excuse for being wrong, also debunks your original quote about the 21st. Even if the solstice drifted, the date was FIXED at the 25th. So this would have no impact on choosing holidays or veneration. The Roman priests would adjust the calendars BASED on the equinoxes and solstices not matching. As far as Mithra, we do have scholarship on Yalda Night. And we do know that Roman Mithras was synced/linked with Sol Invictus and this is also in scholarship that you don't read. So saying "Mithra has nothing to do with Dec 25th" is incorrect.
