- This confuses the NPT with the CTBT. The shift to simulation-based stewardship followed the U.S. end of explosive testing and the CTBT-era test-ban framework, not an NPT testing requirement.
- This overstates what Blue Brain achieved. The project reported simulations of parts or fragments of rat brain tissue, while its whole-brain milestone was for the mouse brain, not the rat brain.

- Sapphire Rapids uses Intel UPI, not Intel QPI. Intel’s own Sapphire Rapids specs list an Intel UPI speed of 16 GT/s.
- Intel’s Xeon Max documentation describes this memory as HBM2e, not “2.0e,” and says it can run in HBM-only, Flat, or Cache mode—not only as an L4 cache.
- AMD’s 8004 series is not “Genoa.” AMD identifies EPYC 9004 as Genoa, EPYC 97x4 as Bergamo, and EPYC 8004 as Siena, with up to 64 cores.
- Intel’s Xeon Max documentation specifies 64 GB of HBM2e, not HBM2a, and says that memory is configurable in HBM-only, Flat, or Cache mode.

- The 2007 Philippe Ramos film starring Denis Lavant is titled Capitaine Achab, not “Capitaine Achabin.”
- This sentence wrongly groups Age of the Dragons with direct-to-video releases. The film had theatrical releases, so it was not only a direct-to-video title.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andes_virus
- For Andes virus, the established entry receptor is protocadherin-1 (PCDH1), not β3 integrin. β3 integrins were older proposed candidates, but primary and ICTV sources now identify PCDH1 as the receptor used by American orthohantaviruses such as ANDV.
- This misdescribes hantavirus spike architecture. Structural sources describe square/tetrameric spikes with fourfold or local symmetry, not helical symmetry, and place Gn in the membrane-distal head region rather than as the stalk.
- This gets the order of events wrong. In hantaviruses, cap snatching provides the capped primer used to initiate viral mRNA transcription; it is not a step that happens only after the genome has already been transcribed.
