- This overstates steroid-related bone loss. Reviews and guidelines describe about 5–15% bone loss in the first year of glucocorticoid therapy, followed by a slower decline thereafter—not 5–15% every year.
- This death toll is vastly inflated. The best-known Vioxx estimate was about 88,000–139,000 excess cases with 30–40% fatality (~35,000–56,000 deaths), while published celecoxib evidence does not support adding another ~140,000 deaths.

- This is outdated. Barbara Picower stepped down as president in February 2024; Deepak Bhargava became president, and the JPB Foundation was renamed the Freedom Together Foundation in 2024.
- This conflates the timing and amount of Picard's suit. Court records say the complaint was filed in May 2009, and the original complaint alleged more than $6.7 billion in transfers, with at least $5 billion identified as fictitious profit; the amount sought was only later increased to $7.2 billion.

- The inflation-adjusted figure is too low. Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ CPI-U annual averages, $20 million in 1920 is about $312.1 million in 2024, not $237 million.
- This misstates the Supreme Court's holding. Ponzi v. Fessenden was about whether a federal prisoner could be brought into state court for trial with federal consent, not a ruling that 'federal plea bargains have no standing regarding state charges.'

- Official records identify his birthplace as Paris, not Saint-Malo.
- Records identify Paris as his birthplace, not Saint-Malo.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Paddock
- Official timelines do not support this. Paddock had stopped firing and apparently killed himself around 10:15 p.m., while the first SWAT officers did not reach the 32nd floor until 10:55 p.m.

- This overstates the 2020 closure. St. Andrew's own September 2020 update says students were back in the classroom, both in person and virtually, so the school did reopen during the pandemic.

- NYU’s own materials identify M. Night Shyamalan as Tisch School of the Arts class of 1992, not “B.A. 1982.”
- NYU’s official sites list 13 global academic centers/sites, not 12.
- NYU’s official name for this unit is the School of Global Public Health, not the College of Global Public Health.
- That overstates it: NYU’s 2020 all-university commencement was virtual/postponed, so not every later commencement was held at the current Yankee Stadium.
- NYU Libraries’ official page now describes Bobst as the flagship of a 7-library system holding 8.6 million volumes, not an 8-library, 4.5 million-volume system.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy)
- This reverses the direction of phenomenological empathy. In Husserlian and broader phenomenological usage, empathy is about experiencing or apprehending another subject/other mind, not experiencing one’s own body "as another."

- This sentence is historically anachronistic. SAIS did not become part of Johns Hopkins until 1950, so in 1947 it was not yet 'Johns Hopkins University's' school.

- The story does not limit habermans to convicted criminals. It explicitly says habermans were "criminals or heretics," so this description is too narrow.

- This misidentifies the language. Standard Hindi does not render “five-six” or 56 as “Panc-Ashash”; Hindi uses words like पाँच/छह for 5 and 6, and 56 is छप्पन.

- Nike Zeus did not use a microcomputer, and the memory figure is misstated: its Bell Labs computer used 25-bit words, with 4,096 words of variable memory plus 24,576 words of permanent memory.
- The standard figure is over 30,000 clay tablets and fragments, not 30,000 distinct works, and the library is associated with the destruction of Nineveh around 612 BCE rather than being 'burnt down again and again.'

- Careening Cove is not a Sydney suburb. Official New South Wales sources identify it as a bay/inlet near Kirribilli, and refer to the surrounding heritage area as being around that bay.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua_Mulan
- Hong Kong Dance Company’s Mulan stage work is titled "The Legend of Mulan," not "The Legend of Marissa Inouye," and HKDance’s official production page lists its run as June 12–14, 2015.
- CCTV’s official program page lists "The Legend of Hua Mulan" as a 48-episode series, not 49 episodes.
- CCTV’s official page lists "巾帼大将军" as a 2013 series, with first broadcast on August 22, 2013, not a 2012 series.

- In Kingdom Hearts II, Sora does not have to visit The Land of Dragons first; the game opens both The Land of Dragons and Beast’s Castle, and the player can choose either route first.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs
- This overstates Maslow’s theory. Maslow explicitly said needs are not an all-or-none ladder: people can be partially unsatisfied at lower levels while still pursuing higher needs.
- This is too absolute for Maslow’s theory. Maslow said people can pursue other motives even when safety is not fully secured, and he specifically noted that curiosity may be pursued at great cost to safety.
- This conflates different ideas in Maslow’s later work. Later accounts of Maslow’s revised hierarchy describe the added level as self-transcendence; metamotivation is the kind of motivation operating at higher levels, not a separate rung in the hierarchy.
- Maslow did not classify acquiring a partner as a self-actualization need. In his original hierarchy, seeking a sweetheart, wife, or other affectionate bond belongs to love/belonging needs.

- The bill does not broadly legalize anyone who could qualify as an agricultural worker. Its relief is limited to a narrower group of people already tied to agricultural work and meeting specific date and work-history requirements.
