  • This labels both words as adjectives, but "increasingly" is an adverb, not an adjective.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Dingemanse
  • This is outdated. Radboud University now lists Mark Dingemanse as a professor, not an associate professor.
  • This title is outdated. The Max Planck Institute described Dingemanse in 2020 as a former senior investigator, and his current Radboud profile lists him as a professor there instead.
  • This misstates the research. Dingemanse’s work was not that the literal English word “huh” occurs in every language, but that a short *huh-like* repair interjection or equivalent appears cross-linguistically.

  • Zelensky did publicly explain the dismissal. On July 16, 2026, he said the Defense Ministry and military leadership had an irreparable conflict and unresolved problems that forced him to choose between them.

  • This overstates the history of U.S. suffrage. Some women could vote in parts of the United States long before 1920, and even after the 19th Amendment many women were still disenfranchised by citizenship barriers and discriminatory state laws.

  • 1834 was the last dismissal of a prime minister by a monarch, not the last time a monarch exercised personal discretion in choosing one. The House of Commons Library says such discretion was last exercised in 1963, after Harold Macmillan resigned.
  • The Prime Minister’s Office was created in 1916, but that was not the first formal recognition of the premiership. Parliament records formal recognition earlier, including Hansard in 1885, the order of precedence in 1905, and the first statutory mention in 1917.
  • This is incorrect: Parliament’s own research says several governments have taken military action without consulting Parliament, including in Syria in 2018 and in Yemen and the Middle East in 2024–2026. Parliament also has no legal veto over deployments.
  • The experiment began on 18 July 1961, not 24 October 1961; 24 October was when it became permanent. And the Wednesday 3pm slot only ran from 1997 to the start of 2003, after which PMQs moved to noon.
  • This overstates Parliament’s role. Current official guidance says Parliament is dissolved at the Prime Minister’s request under the 2022 Act, and members of the House of Lords are appointed by the King on the Prime Minister’s advice; neither process normally requires Parliament’s consent.

  • This reverses the historical relationship: the label 'prime minister' was used of Walpole, and Walpole himself explicitly denied he was the 'sole and prime minister.'

  • 這個漢政權並非由劉尼建立。正史記載是張昌擁立丘沈、改名劉尼為帝,張昌自任相國並主導建國。
  • 這一條把建政者寫錯了。正史把年號「鳳凰」與自稱「聖王」者記為李弘,李金銀只是同案叛亂者,而非單獨建國者。

  • Arnulf Schuchmann is not ODEG’s current CEO/managing director. ODEG’s own imprint lists Stefan Neubert and Lars Gehrke as the company’s managing directors, and ODEG announced that Schuchmann left in 2020.
  • This is outdated for the RE10. ODEG’s own 2025/2026 network no longer includes RE10, and ODEG announced that RE10 was discontinued from the December 14, 2025 timetable change.

  • The transcript supports a strong dismissal of video generation, but not this same categorical claim about world models. On world models, Liang says they are 'not the most important thing at this stage,' which is narrower than saying they have 'no relation' to intelligence.

  • That overstates how stagnant these problems were. Several of the ten areas had substantive progress in the last few years, including 2023–2025 papers that improved bounds or resolved major special cases.

  • VITAL randomization was not stratified by baseline vitamin D levels. The trial papers say randomization was stratified by sex, race, and age group, while baseline blood sampling was optional and available for only about two-thirds of participants.
  • This omits D2d. In the D2d trial, all 2,423 participants had vitamin D levels measured at baseline, so VITAL, ViDA, and FIND were not the only major trials with substantial baseline measurement.
