- This understates the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s estimate by a wide margin. The Commission estimated that Shining Path was responsible for about 31,331 deaths, not 12,500.
- The Tarata bombing did not kill 'over 40 people.' Peru’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Peru’s state news agency both report 25 deaths.
- Fujimori’s tongue cancer was not first diagnosed in 2024. Reputable reports show he had tongue cancer or a cancerous tongue lesion years earlier.

- Das Jahr ist falsch. Das Deutsche Meeresmuseum datiert das Finnwalskelett in seiner Sammlung eindeutig auf 1825, nicht 1823.

- Anthropic did not publicly claim Mythos found vulnerabilities in every operating system and browser. Its April 2026 materials say Mythos found vulnerabilities in every major operating system and every major web browser, which is a narrower claim.

- The published IOC is the OAuth client ID `110671459871-30f1spbu0hptbs60cb4vsmv79i7bbvqj.apps.googleusercontent.com` — without an `http://` prefix. Adding `http://` turns it into a URL, not the client ID Google and Vercel identify.

- 这句话把 Google Chrome 说成曾支持 ActiveX，但 Chromium 官方资料明确区分：IE 使用 ActiveX，Chrome 使用的是 NPAPI 插件机制，不支持 ActiveX。
- ActiveX Documents 并不是“始于 2000 年左右”。微软官方材料显示，Internet Explorer 3.0 在 1996 年就已宣传和支持 ActiveX Documents。
- “Office 的文件只有微软能解读”不对。Google 和 LibreOffice 都明确提供对 Word / PowerPoint 等 Office 文件的导入、打开或直接编辑支持。

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chez_Scheme
- This developer field is outdated. Chez Scheme’s current official project is the Cisco-hosted open-source project, not Cadence Research Systems.
- This architecture list is outdated. Current official Chez Scheme documentation no longer lists SPARC as a supported native-code target, and instead lists newer targets such as RV64G and LoongArch64.

- 这把 RDBMS 的限制说得过头了。主流关系型数据库并不要求行必须固定宽度，而且可以直接存储可变长度值；有些 RDBMS（如 PostgreSQL）还原生支持数组列。
- 这里把 SQL 的“出现时间”写错了。1986 年是 ANSI 首次发布 SQL 标准的年份，不是 SQL 首次出现的年份；IBM 资料显示 SQL 在 1970 年代就已被开发和引入。

- This is incorrect: mainstream RDBMSs support variable-length columns, and some also support array types directly. Fixed-length rows are only one storage option, not a defining property of RDBMS tables.
- The date comparison is wrong. SQL did not first appear in 1986; IBM had already published SEQUEL/SQL in 1974, and SQL became commercially available in 1979. 1986 was the year ANSI standardized SQL.

- 这句把 RDBMS 一概说成“固定宽度、不能存可变长度数据/数组”并不准确。主流关系型数据库长期支持可变长度列，部分系统也直接支持数组列。
- 把数据库概括为“直到今天仍依赖内存映射文件存储数据”并不准确。很多数据库并不以 mmap 作为默认或核心存储机制，甚至明确把它标成可选项或不推荐项。
- 这里把 SQL 的“出现时间”写成了 1986 年，但 1986 年是 ANSI 标准化时间，不是 SQL 语言本身诞生的时间。SQL 在 1970 年代就已由 IBM 开发，并于 1979 年商业化。

- The international box-office figure here is wrong. $57.6 million plus $123.8 million equals only $181.4 million, and major box-office trackers list the film’s international total at about $171.6–$171.7 million, not $123.8 million.

- The official 2025 government list shows 22 Cabinet ministers, not 27. The extra five listed in 2025 were ministers who attended Cabinet but were not full Cabinet members.
- The House of Lords was not the first Cabinet. Parliamentary sources trace the Lords to the medieval Great Council, while the Cabinet emerged much later, in parallel to the Privy Council, in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
- The Colonial Office was not folded directly into the Foreign Office. It merged with the Commonwealth Relations Office in 1966 to form the Commonwealth Office, which was merged into the Foreign Office only in 1968.

- Publicly available records show Tomás B. published fiction years earlier than 2025–2026. LessWrong has his stories dated November 20, 2021 and January 20, 2022, so "about a year" is not accurate on the plain reading.

- This overstates the polling evidence. Some major 2020 polls found Black respondents were split or even supportive of the slogan, so it was not something polling 'consistently showed' as unpopular among Black voters.

- Yaz does use a lower ethinyl estradiol dose than Yasmin, but its drospirenone dose is 3 mg, not 2 mg.
- For combined hormonal contraception, the elevated clot risk on restarting is specifically tied to a break of about 4 weeks or longer—not just any stoppage.

- This introduces an outdated priorities list. The FBI’s official Mission and Priorities page now lists four strategy priorities: Crush Violent Crime, Defend the Homeland, Rebuild Public Trust, and Fierce Organizational Accountability.
- Official FBI materials identify the Glock 19M—not a Glock 23—as the primary Bureau-issued sidearm for new agents.
