Why this is better

Main Ericsson claim was already correctly softened to thousands of hours, but a secondary sentence immediately afterward still used the specific unverified 10,000-hour figure as an authoritative target, reinstating the myth Ericsson himself rejected. Softened this leftover to remove the precise unverified number while preserving the motivational point. Verified clean on re-fetch. FAQ and excerpt checked, no other leftover.
