en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iranian_supreme_leader_election
- Iran’s interim leadership body was a three-member council, not a four-member one. Credible reports say it included the president, the chief justice, and Alireza Arafi — not parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
- This is wrong about Iran’s succession mechanism. After Khamenei’s death, interim authority went to a three-member council under Article 111 — not to Ali Larijani as SNSC secretary or acting supreme leader.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbo
- The date is wrong: TIME says the Dumbo “Mammal-of-the-Year” story was scheduled for December 29, 1941, not December 8, 1941.
- Listing “Disneyland” as the label for a 1941 Dumbo soundtrack release is anachronistic. Disneyland Records was created in 1956; the original 1941 Dumbo soundtrack was released by RCA Victor.

- The Eiger is about 13,015 ft (3,967 m) tall, not 14,000 ft.
- The first ascent of Everest without supplemental oxygen was by Reinhold Messner and Peter Habeler together (May 8, 1978), not by Messner alone.
- In the 1936 Eiger north face disaster, Willy Angerer was already dead at this stage; Toni Kurz was the climber still alive and hauling the rope.

- This overstates Kenyon’s worm-aging results. Her landmark C. elegans work is documented as roughly doubling lifespan, and later UCSF summaries describe extensions up to sixfold—not tenfold.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Health
- David Feinberg is not Oracle Health’s current president and CEO. Oracle’s own biography says he is Chairman of Oracle Health, and that president/CEO was his previous role.
- Oracle’s 9.5 million figure refers to Department of Defense beneficiaries served by one EHR deployment, not Oracle Health’s customer count. Oracle separately says it has more than 1,000 Oracle Health EHR customers.
- Oracle Health is not currently traded under the CERN ticker. Cerner’s shares were suspended and delisted from Nasdaq when Oracle completed the acquisition in June 2022.

- The proposition quoted here is not from Euclid's Book VII. It is Book XIII, Proposition 9; Book VII, Proposition 33 is a number-theory proposition about finding least numbers in the same ratio.
- In this context, the formula is misidentified. ¬¬P ⇒ P is double-negation elimination (a classical proof-by-contradiction principle), not the principle of non-contradiction.

- Ordinary geometric volume is the absolute value of the determinant, not the determinant itself. The determinant can be negative because it encodes orientation as well as size.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule
- The timing is off: Euler’s analysis books were published in 1748, 1755, and completed in 1770, while Leibniz had discovered the rule for a “function of a function” by 1677. That makes them roughly 71–93 years later, not more than 100 years later.

- This is incorrect: Congress’s approval rating has risen back above 20% multiple times since the Great Recession, including into the mid-30s in 2021.
- The famous 'Salary Grab' was enacted in 1873, not 1872.
- UT Austin did not officially record an A+ here. Its official grade scale has no A+, and reporting on the case says Gregory Watson’s grade was formally changed from C to A.
- This is false at the state level. Vermont’s legislature currently includes members listed by the state itself as Progressive/Democrat, so the number is not zero.
- Ohio was not the 9th state to ratify the congressional-pay amendment; it was the 8th.

- OpenAI did publish a GPT-5.2 system-card update on December 11, 2025, the same day GPT-5.2 Pro rolled out. It may be fair to say the card lacked Pro-specific detail, but saying GPT-5.2 Pro was released ‘without a system card’ is too strong.

- This overstates what the cited wine research shows. Brochet’s paper was about how experts describe wine, and multiple studies have found that trained tasters can distinguish wines and even separate premium from secondary wines under blind or constrained tasting conditions.
