- The cited review does not say glucocorticoids cause 5–15% bone loss every year. It says bone loss can be 5–15% during the first year of treatment, with slower loss thereafter.
- The evidence does not support a blanket claim of 'no correlation' between MRI findings and pain severity. Recent cohort and systematic-review data found small but real associations, especially when multiple degenerative findings are present.

- This is too absolute. CNN architectures had already moved away from an all-3×3 design years before ConvNeXt; for example, GoogLeNet/Inception (2014) used 1×1, 3×3, and 5×5 convolutions.

- The March 13, 2009 financial filing valued Bernard Madoff's 1969 Rybovich fishing boat at about $2.2 million, not $800,000.
- That March 2009 filing put the couple's total assets at about $823–$826 million, including a $700 million business interest, which implies roughly $123–$126 million outside the business—not $138 million.
- The 2019 settlement required semi-annual accountings and disclosure of deposits or withdrawals over $500—not reports on every purchase over $100.

- 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- This is outdated.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.'

- 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.

- 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 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.'
