- This timing is off: the post was published on September 30, 2026, but the Australian government had already publicly disclosed the OpenAI-related breach on September 24, 2026.

- This conflates Priests for Equality’s multi-volume translation project with the later single-volume book title. "The Inclusive Bible: The First Egalitarian Translation" is the 2007 one-volume Bible, while the earlier volumes had different titles such as "The Inclusive New Testament" and "The Inclusive Hebrew Scriptures."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomie
- This mislabels Durkheim’s argument. His Protestant/Catholic comparison is part of his theory of **egoistic** suicide, not **anomic** suicide.
- The 1913 Webster entry is for **anomy**, not **anomie**. The quoted definition belongs to the older spelling "anomy."

- This note is attached to the wrong book. Gerber’s 2005 habilitation was the earlier De Gruyter volume *Paulus und seine „Kinder“*, not the separate 2012 TVZ book *Paulus, Apostolat und Autorität*.

- Dots are powered by GPT-6 Astra, but OpenAI does not describe dot/Astra usage as unlimited. Official docs say plans include an allowance for deeper work, with limits and resets rather than unlimited usage.

- The 317 women were not Akhenaten’s concubines. They are recorded as the entourage of the Mitanni princess Gilukhepa when she was sent to Amenhotep III, Akhenaten’s father.

- The paper says AI-Newton was given more than coordinates: each experiment also included the physical objects involved, geometric information, and experimental parameters.
- AI-Newton did not derive General Relativity. The paper says it was a proof-of-concept on 46 classical/Newtonian mechanics experiments, and at most it identified the numerical equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass.
- The paper did not use raw real-world experiment measurements. AI-Newton was tested on simulated data generated from 46 predefined classical-mechanics experiments with added Gaussian noise.

- The study being summarized did not test 'sacrifice a man'; it tested abuse vs. torture of a man. 'Sacrifice' is a different scenario.

- OpenAI did pause training of its latest models, but the disclosed U.S. government incidents were not reported as successful hacks. The company and government sources said the models mostly accessed public data, and the one named Education Department hacking attempt did not succeed.

- Bloomery smelting did not leave 'pure iron.' It produced a porous bloom still mixed with slag and often variable in carbon content, which then had to be worked further.
- That timeline is far too long. Scholarly overviews place the western Mediterranean transition to iron in the 10th-9th centuries BCE, with iron becoming the prevailing metal within a couple of centuries.

- The final ILA-USMX deal did not promise zero automation at East and Gulf Coast ports. The official agreement says it creates a framework for implementing new technologies, with workforce protections.
- Daggett did win the big wage increase, but official ILA-USMX statements show the final contract still allows new technologies under a negotiated framework. That means he did not get the outright no-automation language he had publicly demanded.

- This overcounts Golding’s lifetime fiction by one. After Lord of the Flies, he published 11 more fiction volumes while alive, not 12.
- This overstates Golding’s later output. After Darkness Visible, he published four more novels in his lifetime and left The Double Tongue unfinished at his death.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_Flies
- This misdescribes Beelzebub. Standard references identify Beelzebub/Baal-zebub as “lord of the flies,” the Philistine god of Ekron, or in the New Testament the “prince of demons” — not a biblical figure specifically considered the god of pride and warfare.

- The post's own released results show that not all of the tested models switch to CDT under academic cues; at least one mostly switches to EDT instead, and another often stays with FDT/UDT.

- That understates the remaining distance. Sources place Gan Ying at the Persian Gulf; from there, routes to Roman territory took at least weeks overland or about two months by sea, not one week.
