    True natural short-sleeper variants are present in well under 1% of people, not about 3%

    Before
    only about 3% of the population carries a genetic variant of the DEC2 gene that permits genuine function on six hours or less
    After
    well under 1% of the population carries a genetic variant of the DEC2 gene that permits genuine function on six hours or less

    Why: Body text was already correctly fixed to 'well under 1%', but the FAQ field (JSON-LD FAQ schema) still contained the stale fabrication: 'Only about 3% of the population carries a genetic mutation allowing genuine function on 6 hours or less.' Corrected the FAQ answer to 'Well under 1% of the population carries a genetic variant of the DEC2 gene that permits genuine function on 6 hours or less,' matching the corrected body text and the DEC2 gene reference.
