- Being on the BIS Entity List is not a blanket ban on doing business with a company. It creates export-control licensing requirements and red flags, but BIS says U.S. companies can still have dealings or purchases in some circumstances.
- This is too absolute. Chinese state-owned and public-sector organizations also buy cloud services: Tencent says it serves Bank of China and State Grid via Tencent Cloud, and Alibaba markets a government cloud specifically for state-owned enterprises.
- Not all Qwen weights are under Apache 2.0. Official Qwen model pages show some released weights use the Qwen Research License instead.

- That broader “first person” claim is wrong. Guinness says the first verified circumnavigation by walking was completed by David Kunst in 1974; Bushby’s bid is the narrower feat of an unbroken round-the-world walk without transport.

- Bushby is not attempting to be the first person ever to walk around the world. Guinness World Records says the first verified walking circumnavigation was completed by David Kunst in 1974; Bushby’s challenge is a more specific 'unbroken' no-transport version.

- In the Min vertex cover row, the NP-hardness factor is not 2−ε. The unconditional NP-hardness cited in the literature is √2−o(1); 2−ε is the stronger hardness known under the Unique Games Conjecture.

- This misdescribes why the published exponents look 'ugly.' In the cited papers, those exponents are the actual theorem or abstract bounds proved for all input sizes/asymptotically, not artifacts of restricting the proof to some arbitrary cutoff like 2^50.

- The repo's manuscript filenames span at least September 17, 2026 to October 5, 2026, not September 23 to October 3. That makes the "ten days" estimate too short.

- Hasan’s Virginia Tech degree was a Bachelor of Science, not a Bachelor of Arts.

- That is not true of both versions. The article itself later reproduces Hu Mingfu’s 1916 draft, which contains characters such as 似 and 設/设 whose standard Mandarin readings are sì and shè, not shi.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS
- FreeDOS’s own history says the project officially started on June 29, 1994, not June 26, and describes the trigger as Microsoft saying a future Windows would replace DOS—not a same-day announcement ending MS-DOS sales or support.

- Omitting only the relative pronoun does not create a reduced relative clause. It creates a zero-relative/contact clause; reduced relatives are typically non-finite or verbless and omit more than just the pronoun.

- This overstates what the underlying list shows. The cited Top 500 list still classifies all 500 entries as open, open with only subcases solved, disputed, under review, or on conditional hold—not as 90 solved problems.
- Hilbert's Tenth Problem over Q is not solved. Current status pages describe it as an open problem and say the purported route still leaves decisive steps unproved.
- BPL = L is still listed as open. The current Top 500 status page explicitly marks this derandomization question as unresolved.

- That incubation window is wrong for pneumonic plague. Authoritative public-health sources say pneumonic plague usually develops much faster—typically about 1 to 3 or 1 to 4 days after exposure, and sometimes within 24 hours.

- The publication year is wrong. Kew records Cataria Adans. as first published in 1763, not 1793.
- This is not currently an accepted Nepeta species in Kew’s checklist. POWO treats Nepeta sulphurea as a synonym of Nepeta nuda subsp. nuda.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_XIV
- The Vatican’s own index of Leo XIV’s apostolic letters dates this motu proprio to November 19, 2025, not November 21, 2025.
- The official Vatican itinerary shows Leo XIV’s Monaco trip took place on March 28, 2026, not January 17, 2026.
- Leo XIV did not take up residence in the Apostolic Palace at the start of his pontificate; the Vatican said he moved there on March 14, 2026 after living at the Palazzo del Sant’Uffizio.
- The Vatican’s 1996 test for lay excommunication is not based only on exclusive attendance at SSPX liturgies; it requires formal adherence to the schism, including an internal choice against obedience to the Pope.
