Why this is better

Corrected Campbell's discipline from sociologist to psychologist in all 3 body instances (prose x2, comparison table) and the indicted-educators count from seventeen to thirty-five, matching the real Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal. Verified all 4 fixes already live on the article. Also found and fixed a 5th leftover instance of the same fabrication in the FAQ JSON-LD field (Proposed by sociologist Donald T. Campbell in 1976), which was not yet corrected - fixed to psychologist and re-encoded via the standard base64/json op-sequence, round-trip verified before and after PUT, and confirmed clean on live re-fetch.
