en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETH_Zurich
- Credit Suisse’s crisis and merger happened in 2023, not 2025. ETH’s own pages show the Alumni Association first sponsored the teaching award in 2025.
- The SOLA-Stafette does have 14 sections, but its official total distance is about 114.77 km, not 140 km.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_district_court
- This example is wrong: injury claims caused by federal employees are generally Federal Tort Claims Act cases, not Court of Federal Claims cases.
- The counts are too low. Federal judiciary and Senate records show more impeachments and more removals than this sentence states.
- This list is outdated or overbroad. Puerto Rico still uses a federal bar exam, but the Southern District of Ohio and Northern District of Florida now require a seminar/tutorial instead of an additional bar exam.
- This misstates the 2007 judiciary statistics. The official report said 71% of immigration cases—not 75% of all criminal cases—were filed in the five southwestern border districts.
- The count is off by one. There are 94 U.S. district courts, so if 56 are in the first group, the 'other' group can only be 38, not 39.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenspan_put
- This overstates Yellen-era policy. The Fed ended its asset-purchase program in October 2014, raised rates starting December 16, 2015, and began balance-sheet normalization in October 2017.
- The Fed’s September 2019 repo operations were launched to keep the federal funds rate within the target range and relieve money-market strains, not as an asset-price support program.
- Quantitative tightening had already begun before Powell became Fed chair. The FOMC announced the balance-sheet normalization program in September 2017 and started it in October 2017; Powell became chair on February 5, 2018.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Greenspan
- Greenspan’s fifth term was not unprecedented. William McChesney Martin had already been appointed to a fifth four-year term as Fed chair in 1967.
- January 31, 2006 was not the scheduled end of Greenspan’s fifth chairmanship term. His fifth four-year term as chair began on June 20, 2004; January 31, 2006 was the end of his separate Board membership term.
- The Fed had already cut the federal funds target to 1.00% in June 2003, not 2004. In 2004 it began raising rates, moving the target up to 1.25% on June 30, 2004.

- This anniversary reference is wrong: the 2024 Sundance Film Festival was the festival’s 40th edition, while 20 years referred to the film’s own anniversary.
- The dollar figure is wrong. Major box-office databases list the film’s domestic total as $44,540,956, not $44,940,956.
