Claim
The 1998 "Inventor of the Year" award from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Correction
MIT’s own records list Kurzweil’s MIT Inventor of the Year honor as 1988, not 1998.
Full reasoning
This date is off by a decade. Official MIT pages describing Ray Kurzweil’s honors state that he received the MIT Inventor of the Year Award in 1988. For example, MIT News lists his MIT honors as: “Lemelson-MIT Prize (2000), MIT Inventor of the Year Award (1988).” Another MIT News page repeats the same date. That directly contradicts the article’s claim that the award was in 1998.
