    Corrected 2 citation errors: a fabricated 'Edmondson 2003 hospital system' study citation attached to a real finding that actually originates from her 1996 Journal of Applied Behavioral Science nursing-teams research; and a fabricated 'internal memos released during litigation' framing of Blockbuster's Netflix-threat awareness, when the real, well-documented history is Reed Hastings personally pitching Blockbuster CEO John Antioco in 2000 and Antioco's 2004 proposal to eliminate late fees, later blocked by the board and Carl Icahn.

    Before

    Article cited a specific study year/venue and a specific evidentiary source (litigation-released memos) for otherwise real findings that could not be verified as described.

    After

    Corrected the Edmondson citation to describe the finding without inventing a nonexistent 2003 study; replaced the fabricated litigation-memo framing with the real, documented Hastings/Antioco/Icahn history.

    Why: Real researchers and companies were used as anchors for a fabricated study year and a fabricated evidentiary source, a more subtle variant of the fabrication pattern found across this batch of legacy articles; the Edmondson 1999 study, Nokia/Huy-Vuori study, Dweck research, Blockbuster revenue figure, and Google Project Aristotle details all verified as real and accurate.
