en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation
- This introduces an outdated priorities list.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.

- This is incorrect: the NSA’s existence was publicly acknowledged well before 1975, including in the public National Security Agency Act of 1959. The Church Committee exposed previously secret NSA programs such as SHAMROCK and MINARET, not the agency’s existence itself.
- This is anachronistic. Patrice Lumumba was prime minister of the Congo in 1960; the country was not renamed Zaire until 1971.

- The Nature paper did not report that thymic health outperformed PD-L1 or TMB; it said thymic health had similar average effect sizes and added independent, complementary prognostic information.
- The NEJM thymectomy study did not find a 1.5-fold increase in autoimmune disease in the overall matched primary cohort; that increase appeared only in a restricted subgroup after exclusions.
- β-Klotho is not an obligatory co-receptor for FOXN1. It is the obligate co-receptor for FGF21.
- The cited Nature paper did not report a 44% lower-risk estimate for the melanoma/breast/renal pan-cancer analysis. The paper’s 44% figure refers to a different NSCLC subgroup.

- This is incorrect: clinicians have long had established ways to assess immune function, including immune-function testing and immunoglobulin blood tests.
- This overstates how often pancreatic cancer is metastatic or late-stage at diagnosis. U.S. SEER data show about 51% are distant/metastatic at diagnosis and about 79% are regional-or-distant combined.

- This understates how many academic centers have dedicated CHIP clinics. Mayo Clinic, NYU Langone, and Memorial Sloan Kettering all publicly describe CHIP/CH clinics, so it is not limited to just two centers.
- The cited trial did not show a statistically significant overall reduction in clonal hematopoiesis. Overall clone size still increased on colchicine, and the overall difference versus placebo was not statistically significant; the significant signal was mainly in the TET2 subgroup.

- Visa CLI is described by Visa as a card-payment tool, not a merchant stablecoin-settlement product. Official docs say the tokenized card is charged through the card network, and Visa/Stripe materials say merchants are paid in fiat/local currency like a normal card transaction.

- Douglass did not say his first job as a free man was loading coal onto ships. In his autobiographies, he says his first paid work was handling coal at a house and then stowing a sloop with oil; he does not describe a first ship-loading job involving coal.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreessen
- This board-membership list is outdated. Marc Andreessen is not a current HPE director, and companies like Bump and TinyCo were acquired years ago, so presenting them as current board seats is inaccurate.

- This is contradicted by Yudkowsky’s own recorded statements. In the Roko’s Basilisk episode, he explicitly banned discussion in part to avoid giving people “horrible nightmares” and later said exposing people to such infohazards was “a crappy thing to do.”

- This is too categorical: major dictionaries record a /pyu-/ pronunciation of "Pulitzer" as an accepted American variant, so it is not simply "widely incorrect."

- This is too absolute. Modern descriptions of English pronunciation do not treat hour/sour as uniformly two-syllable in all varieties; syllabification varies by accent and even by speaker.

- This dates the back-formation too late. Standard dictionaries trace **obese** in English to the 1650s/1651, while **obesity** is attested earlier, around 1611.

- 《獅子王》(1994) 的全球院線票房不是 10.84 億美元。迪士尼與 Box Office Mojo 近年的資料都把其全球票房列在約 9.76 億到 9.79 億美元。
- 這個全球票房數字已過時且不準確。較新的官方與主流票房資料顯示，《獅子王》(1994) 全球票房約為 9.76 億至 9.79 億美元，而不是 968,483,777 美元。
- 拉飛奇的英文原配並不是羅文·阿金森。迪士尼官方資料列出拉飛奇由 Robert Guillaume 配音，而羅文·阿金森配的是沙祖（Zazu）。
- 沙拉碧的英文原配不是琥碧·戈柏。公開片單資料顯示，沙拉碧由 Madge Sinclair 配音；琥碧·戈柏（Whoopi Goldberg）配的是桑琪（Shenzi）。
- 桑琪的英文原配不是切奇·马林。迪士尼官方資料列出桑琪由 Whoopi Goldberg 配音，而切奇·马林配的是斑仔（Banzai）。
- 這個「目前第42高」的排名已不正確。Box Office Mojo 的全球終身票房榜目前把 1994 年《獅子王》列在第 61 名。

- This overstates things: governments and regulators have in fact imposed short-selling bans, including the SEC’s 2008 emergency ban on many financial stocks and France’s 2020 ban on creating or increasing short net positions.
- This reverses how short selling works. In a short sale, you borrow and sell first, and only later buy the shares back; your gain or loss is anchored to the initial sale price, not set when you buy.
