Split Short Exact Sequences - Bland - Proposition 3.2.7 - Three equivalent condiitions

In summary, Bland's book, Rings and Their Modules, is a great and challenging book! His notation and his rigour are excellent as is the clarity of his arguments. I really enjoy challenging myself with his book. However, I am not convinced that it is a good book yet. An errata-sheet would be most helpful.

That does not make sense, since any counterexample to $(3)\implies (1)$ is a a counterexample to the implication that $(3)$ implies the ses splits; for a split exact sequence necessarily satisfies $(1), (2)$, and $(3)$. Seeing that you want to stop the discussion, I'll leave it to other users address your concerns.

Thanks to Euge and Steenis for clarifying matters ...
