   Assuming that there was no particular reason not to say that a symmetric monoidal groupoid is a symmetric monoidal category which happens to be a groupoid, I have slightly expanded and adjusted the Idea-paragraph to the following:

   A braided monoidal groupoid is a braided monoidal category whose underlying category happens to be a groupoid (hence all whose morphisms are isomorphisms).

   Equivalently: A braided monoidal groupoid whose dagger adjoint of the braiding is the opposite braiding,

   Equivalently, a 1-truncated $E_3$-space or $E_\infty$-space.
