The exact change
Article attributed fabricated specific percentages and an entirely fabricated study to real researchers and a real FTC case, and misstated Diana Tamir's institution at the time of her study.
Removed or generalized each fabricated figure and the fabricated meta-analysis, corrected Tamir's institution to Harvard, and kept the real underlying findings intact without the invented precision.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
Verified every named researcher, scale, and case study against real published sources; found the consistent pattern of real people, instruments, and legal cases with fabricated statistics grafted on, plus one entirely invented paper attributed to real researchers working in a different field.
How this record is verified
- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, When Notes Fly, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
- It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
