  • This is backwards: the standard scientific explanation is that non-avian dinosaurs went extinct after a massive asteroid impact, not because they were defeated by other animals.
  • This overstates the role of rival European powers. Many European empires ended because anti-colonial and nationalist movements in colonized societies forced or won independence.

  • Это описание неверно: в романе Сорренто не является тем, кто обычно первым находит ключи и проходит испытания. По сюжету первым ключ находит Уэйд/Parzival, а второй — Art3mis.

  • This gets the date and office-holder wrong. Somdet Chuang became the council chair/acting Supreme Patriarch in 2013; in 2005 that role was given to Somdet Kiaw.
  • The anniversary number is wrong. In 2012, Buddha Jayanti was widely marked as the 2,600th anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment, not the 2,560th.
  • The year is wrong. Somdet Chuang was officially nominated/appointed by the Supreme Sangha Council on January 5, 2016, not in 2015.

  • 这组“戴脑电帽看演出”的照片并非发生在北京大学。清华大学官方和相关报道都把这张网传照片认定为清华的一次剧场脑电实验。

  • 这段 TalkTV 采访时间写晚了一天。现存的一手页面显示,Kavanagh 在 2024 年 1 月 22 日就预告“今晚”上 TalkTV,而相关采访视频的发布日期是 2024 年 1 月 23 日。
  • Rod Stewart 当时确实到过圣潘克拉斯演出,但报道明确说他没有弹 Elton John 捐赠的那台钢琴,而是使用了自己的三角钢琴。

  • 吉姆·杰福兹并没有因竞选参议员而辞去众议员席位。美国众议院官方资料显示,他一直担任众议员到1989年1月3日,然后才开始参议员任期。
  • 这句把桑德斯在伯灵顿滨水区问题上的立场写反了。可靠资料显示,他是反对把滨水区开发成高档公寓的,主张公共可进入的公园和公共空间。
  • 这句把桑德斯在1999年的投票立场写错了。美国众议院官方点名表决记录显示,他对该金融服务现代化法案投的是反对票,并不支持废除相关分业规定。
  • 这条参议院资历排名已经过时。美国参议院现行资历表显示,截至第119届国会,伯尼·桑德斯排第15位,不是第19位。

  • 這張照片並不是在 1936 年很快見報;多個來源指出它長期留在檔案中,直到 2002 年公開後才迅速成為標誌性影像。
  • 把這次拍照說成她唯一一次接觸槍枝,與現有史料不符;來源顯示她在照片拍攝前就已持槍執勤,且戰時記述也提到她一直帶著步槍。

  • This appears to conflate two different Zambia entries in Lynn’s work. In Lynn’s 1991 table, the Zambia IQ of 75 is attached to a sample of 1,011 adults, not a 152-person sample.

  • This misdescribes the contents of *IQ and the Wealth of Nations*. The book did not rely only on in-country or diaspora samples; for many countries, Lynn and Vanhanen simply estimated IQs from neighboring countries.

  • This is incorrect: RevenueCat is already a Y Combinator company from Summer 2018, and YC’s 2026 batches are labeled Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall 2026—not “G26.”

  • NUMMI was not Toyota’s first North American manufacturing base. Toyota had already been manufacturing in Long Beach, California through TABC since the 1970s.
  • NUMMI was established before December 1984. Toyota said the new company was established on February 22, 1984; December 1984 was when production began.

  • The AICPA develops the SOC framework, but it does not license CPA firms. CPA licenses are issued by state Boards of Accountancy.
  • SOC 2 Type II is not a certification. It is an attestation/examination that results in an auditor’s SOC 2 report.

  • This conflates two different schools. University of Chicago records say Birren had a brief stint at the Art Institute, then arrived at the University of Chicago in fall 1919.
  • The move date is off. University of Chicago's Birren profile says he left Chicago for New York City in 1935, not 1933.

  • The Paris institution was not founded as the Curie Institute in 1920. Marie Curie oversaw creation of the Institut du Radium in 1909, and the organizations that later became Institut Curie were in place by 1914 and 1921.
  • The date math is wrong: radium was discovered in 1898, so its 25th anniversary was in 1923, not 1920.

  • The EP *Them People Coming* was released in 2010, not 2011. Apple Music lists its release date as November 30, 2010, and MusicBrainz also catalogs it as a 2010 release.
