  • This sentence misdates Scale AI’s U.S. AI Safety Institute tie-up. Scale announced joining the U.S. AI Safety Institute Consortium on February 8, 2024, and announced a separate model-evaluation partnership on February 10, 2025—not August 2024.

  • 这段关于《平均律键盘曲集》第一卷的描述不对。权威目录和乐谱版本都把 BWV 846–869 列为 24 首完整的前奏曲与赋格曲,其中第 14 首(BWV 859)也是完整作品。
  • 这里的编号写错了。BWV 769 是整部《从天而降圣婴歌的卡农变奏曲》的作品号,标准来源只列出 Variatio I–V,并没有 “No. 7”。
  • 这句话说得过头了。B-A-C-H 动机在 19 世纪前就已再次被使用;例如,18 世纪的约翰·克里斯蒂安·巴赫就使用过它。

  • This is outdated. The official LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA catalog includes at least one confidently detected event with a best-fit redshift above 1.

  • William Milne is generally described as the second Protestant missionary to China, not the second Christian missionary overall. Christian missions had reached China centuries earlier, including Jesuit Matteo Ricci in the late 1500s.
  • Rachel Milne did not die in Macau. Reliable biographical sources place her death in Klebang, Malacca, on March 20, 1819.

  • La cifra de materiales físicos al abrir la biblioteca es incorrecta. CETYS informó oficialmente al inaugurarla que su acervo bibliográfico era de 52,000 volúmenes, no de aproximadamente 20,000.
  • La descripción oficial de CETYS para esa zona no coincide. La universidad la presenta como tres salas de estudio con TV para grupos de hasta 15 personas, no como tres cubículos para 12 usuarios.

  • This overstates physics publishing norms. Physics journals do publish papers reporting effects with much weaker significance than p<0.0001, and even particle physics' famous 5-sigma rule is a discovery convention, not a blanket journal requirement.
