- β-klotho is not a co-receptor for FOXN1. In the cited thymus-aging study, β-klotho is described as the obligate co-receptor for FGF21.
- The Nature paper does not say thymic health outperformed PD-L1 and TMB overall. It says thymic health had similar average effect sizes and provided independent, potentially complementary prognostic information.
- This misstates thymus biology. Thymic selection presents mainly self-antigens to eliminate self-reactive T cells, and thymic dendritic cells are mostly bone-marrow-derived rather than produced by the thymus.

- Game-history scholarship does not support identifying the Mahabharata’s dice game as pachisi. The epic’s dicing episode does not describe the cruciform pachisi/chaupar board game, and specialists say that identification lacks textual basis.
- Vallam kali is not limited to Punnamada Lake. Official Kerala Tourism material describes vallam kali as a broader class of Kerala boat races, with Punnamada Lake being the venue of the Nehru Trophy race, only one famous vallam kali.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langdi_(sport)
- The official Langadi Federation rules say a national-level team has 12 players total, not 12 plus three extra players. Of those 12, 9 start on the field and 3 are substitutes.
- Under the official rules, the toss winner chooses whether to attack or defend. They are not automatically required to defend.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leg_cricket
- Official federation pages date the 1st Indo-Nepal T-10 Leg Cricket Championship to October 2013, not July 2013.
- Official federation records list the Mathura event as the 5th Senior National T-10 championship, not a T20 championship.
- The federation’s own results place the 5th National T-10 championship in Mathura on May 21–23, 2016, not in New Delhi in January 2017.
- The federation’s own rule-book history says it had already conducted seven national championships by January 2020, so “six national games” understates the total.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munawar_Faruqui
- His birth year is not 1994. Multiple credible sources list Munawar Faruqui as born on 28 January 1992.
- This gets both the date and timing wrong. Contemporary reports say he was arrested on January 1, 2021, just before his performance began, not in the middle of an act on January 2.

- The winning ECL team was Haryanvi Hunters, not “Haryana Hunters.” Multiple match reports and score sources identify Elvish Yadav’s side by the official team name Haryanvi Hunters.

- ISPL’s rules do not require exactly two tape-ball overs. The official rulebook says a team must bowl at least one tape-ball over and may choose up to two.
- Failing a 50-50 challenge causes a penalty, not a bonus. ISPL’s rulebook says 50% of the runs from that over are deducted from the batting team’s total.

- This sentence misdates the film and misdescribes its premise. Contemporary coverage shows Damaru Ko Dandibiyo was released in 2018, and its story centers on reviving Dandi Biyo in a village and a conflict with the protagonist’s father.

- This is a mistranslation. In Marathi, दगड means “stone,” but माती means “earth/soil,” while “sand” is वाळू or रेती.
- Recent government sources do not describe Nela Banda as extinct. Andhra Pradesh’s 2024 sports policy still lists it for promotion, and a Ministry of Education initiative says the game is still played in some regions.

- This sentence mixes up the chronology. "The New Game of Virtue Rewarded and Vice Punished" is documented in 1818, and English "Snakes and Ladders" was first published in 1892.
- This is too late. A Cambridge museum record documents a snakes-and-ladders/gyan chapar board that was brought back from India in 1857.
- The timeline is wrong. Museum sources say the inscriptions had already disappeared and the board had become a simple numbered track by the early 1900s, not only in the 1940s.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrom
- Under ICF rules, pocketing the queen does not automatically add 3 points. The queen’s 3 points are credited only if the player wins the board, and only up to a score of 21.
- Standard South Asian carrom is not played with rocks. Official carrom rules define the pieces as wooden carrom men/discs, so this appears to be a mistaken word choice.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludo
- Contemporaneous interviews with Ludo King's founder put the app at roughly 48–51 million daily active users in May 2020, not 251 million.
- The inventor's surname is misspelled here: historical sources identify him as Alfred Collier, not Alfred Coller.

- The paper does not prove this holds "always." Its theorem is an almost-sure result under specific assumptions, not a universal guarantee for every parameter setting or every LLM.

- Zerologon did not directly reveal all usernames and passwords on a network. Microsoft and the vulnerability’s discoverers describe it as letting attackers spoof a domain controller or change its machine password, which can then enable domain takeover and credential theft.
- Public reporting on this incident did not describe an Outlook Web App software flaw. CISA and Volexity said the attackers bypassed MFA by using a previously stolen Duo integration secret key on an OWA server to forge a valid cookie.

- This bibliography entry lists the wrong publisher. *The Force of Nonviolence* was published by Verso, not Penguin Random House.
- This lists the wrong French honor rank. Berkeley’s official announcement says Butler received the diploma of **Chevalier** of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2013, not Officier.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnography
- The American Anthropological Association’s current ethics statement was approved in 2012, not 2009.
- This misdates Rivers’s work and points to the wrong publication. Rivers’s genealogical method is associated with his 1910 article, while *Kinship and Social Organisation* was first published in 1914.
- The method described here is ethnography, not ethnology. Ethnology is the comparative study of cultures, while immersive natural-setting user research is ethnography.
- Ruth Benedict’s 1926 fieldwork was with the Pima, not a group called the “Pina.”

- CRI is not an LED-only metric. It is a general color-rendering measure used for many light sources, including fluorescent and incandescent lamps.
- That overstates the U.S. rules on incandescent bulbs. Many general-service incandescent bulbs were phased out, but numerous incandescent categories remained legal and explicitly exempt.
