Is the famous HPACK demo diagram wrong?

Question

I was so much confused by 19 in the rightmost picture, which IMHO would be 4 [2].

Yes looks wrong to me too, and I agree it should be 4 for :path and not 19 for accept.

The presenter's book High Performance Browser Networking (available online for free) has this in the HPACK section:

Which, as you can see, did include the accept header so suspect they just made a typo when they simplified the example for the slides.
