    1. Why does it say where T: Sized for references &T? A reference can definitely point to an unsized type, e.g. &str.

    I think the point being made is that the layout shown only applies for Sized T. Layouts for &[T] and &dyn Trait are shown elsewhere on the sheet. &str is noted under &[T].

    Edit: although, similar considerations would apply to other pointer types, but that isn’t noted on the sheet except for Box<[T]>
