Many eyewitness accounts match corroborating or contradictory physical evidence

There is nothing in the above that the 4 categories cannot incorporate.

Given that I had already excluded #3 (intentional misleading = outright fabrication), then #4 would have been the worst case.

For whatever reason we're not communicating. Probably because I had potato chips, chili, and coffee for breakfast. :>)

The reason is because you've excluded #3 (intentional misleading) and I haven't. Your stated reason for excluding #3, that people died for the belief, is nonsense. Many people have died for their beliefs and that didn't make their beliefs any more valid.

It didn't make their beliefs any more or less valid than they were otherwise.

The other reason we're not communicating is because your #1, #2, and #4 cases that you haven't excluded are not evidence for deities. They would be evidence for people believing they witnessed a resurrection.
