- The cited U.S. study did not include 347 donors; it analyzed 80,347 live kidney donors with a median follow-up of 6.3 years.
- This overstates how kidney-donation vouchers work. The National Kidney Registry’s family-voucher program is limited to up to five family members, gives priority within NKR matching rather than simply moving people to the top of the transplant list, and explicitly says there is no guarantee a voucher holder will be matched or transplanted.

- 1989 was the ʻōʻū’s last confirmed sighting, not a documented extinction year. Official sources describe the species as presumed or possibly extinct, meaning the extinction date is uncertain.

- This misstates Anthropic's article. The piece argues AI is already accelerating AI development and could have major positive and disruptive effects; the quoted passage only says recursive improvement would still face real-world bottlenecks.

- Anthropic did not call for an immediate global pause. Its June 2026 paper says a slowdown or pause would only make sense if it were coordinated and verifiable, and says the company wants the world to have that option—not that it is demanding a pause now.

- This overstates what the Paris Agreement’s temperature goal means. Official UN sources say a temporary or single-year breach of 1.5°C does not mean the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature goal has already been failed.

- The Rotten Tomatoes stat is outdated. Rotten Tomatoes currently lists the film at 95% based on 253 reviews, not 96% based on 251.
- The soundtrack album has 26 songs, not 18. Apple Music’s official album page lists it as a 26-song release.

- This date is too late. Credible references place Africans in the Americas decades earlier, with New World Black slavery beginning in 1502 and Africans present in Spanish America in the early 1500s.
- This sentence mixes up the ships’ intended destination with where the captives actually arrived. The well-documented 1619 group was taken to Point Comfort in Virginia, not to Mexico.
- The date is off by a year. The University of Denver says The Spirituals Project was formally incorporated in December 1998.

- This overstates what the Washington Post article says. The piece argued Lincoln and Marx were "friendly" and influenced each other, but it also explicitly said Lincoln was not a socialist, communist, or Marxist and that he "never took up the mantle of socialism."
- This misdescribes the data issue. The study used linked individual-level register data under an ethics permit; the dispute was whether the approved permit covered this particular use of sensitive personal data and research questions, not merely whether the authors forgot to ask permission to include "publicly accessible" ethnicity statistics.

- Later court findings in Singapore said Zubeen Garg died from accidental drowning while swimming, not in a scuba-diving accident.
- Mark Snow was reported to have died at his home in Connecticut; the listing’s placement of Connecticut in Massachusetts is wrong.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slay_(slang)
- This mixes up the ancient verb with the much newer slang. Reliable dictionaries date the base word "slay" to Old English/before 900, while sources on the modern slang trace that usage to 1970s–80s ballroom culture.

- Kung fu did not originate at Shaolin Monastery. Chinese martial arts predate the fifth-century temple by many centuries; Shaolin later became famous for developing its own Shaolin kung fu tradition.

- This misdescribes dissociative fugue. In DSM-5, fugue is a specifier of dissociative amnesia centered on purposeful travel or bewildered wandering with autobiographical/identity amnesia—not simply “sudden awakening followed by distress.”

- This sentence misidentifies the optimal options in the paper’s own example prompt. In Figure 3, option (a) is the best short trajectory and option (c) is the best long trajectory, so the correct maximally NEUTRAL/USEFUL pair is (a) and (c), not (b) and (c).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Holder
- This is outdated: Groupe Holder no longer owns Ladurée. Groupe Holder’s current official pages list its brands without Ladurée, and Ladurée’s own official history says it joined LOV Group in March 2021.
- This title is outdated. Groupe Holder’s official site and current company registry information list Francis Holder as the group’s founder/president, while Maxime Holder is the managing director/directeur général.

- Francis Holder n’a pas fondé PAUL. L’histoire officielle de la marque fait remonter sa création à 1889, et indique que la famille Holder a repris une pâtisserie de la famille Paul en 1953 en conservant ce nom.

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupe_Holder
- Le site officiel du groupe ne présente pas Francis Holder comme l'actuel directeur général. Il le qualifie de fondateur et président, tandis que Maxime Holder est indiqué comme directeur général.
- Le site officiel du Groupe Holder ne liste plus cinq enseignes. Il en affiche actuellement quatre : Château Blanc, Paul, Panétude-Pandéco et IFH.
- Cette phrase est devenue fausse depuis la cession de Ladurée. Ladurée n'appartient plus au groupe Holder : la Maison indique avoir rejoint LOV Group en mars 2021.
- Ladurée n'a pas été rachetée « un an plus tôt » en 2008. Les sources officielles du groupe Holder et de Ladurée situent son rachat par la famille Holder en 1993.

- The Odyssey did not begin its delayed world voyage from Dublin. Contemporary reports show it finally departed Belfast in early October 2024 after months of delays there.
- That cabin size is wrong by a large margin. Villa Vie’s Deck 2 Golden Passport option is a porthole cabin, and independent deck-plan references list Deck 2 porthole cabins at about 140 sq ft (13 m²), not 130 square metres.
- Villa Vie’s one-time-payment program is marketed as lifetime access, not ownership. The company’s own comparison page says this option provides 'No - lifetime access' under equity/ownership and is non-transferable.
- Villa Vie does not describe its one-time program as buying the cabin itself. Its own materials say the program provides lifetime access/residency, with no equity ownership and no transferability.

- This is incorrect. Derek Chauvin was not the first Minnesota officer charged in the death of a Black civilian; Jeronimo Yanez was charged in 2016 over the killing of Philando Castile.
- This appears backward. Contemporaneous reports said Kueng and Thao were offered 36 months to be served at the same time as their federal sentences, not consecutively.
