What was corrected

What the page claimed

The article attributed an unverified quotation directly to Socrates and mapped Bloom's six-level taxonomy onto three paired levels (1-2, 3-4, 5-6), which does not match the original structure.

What was corrected

Added a provenance caveat to the quotation and corrected the taxonomy table to reflect Bloom's actual six distinct levels.

Why this is better

The quotation lacks a verified source, and the taxonomy table structurally misrepresented Bloom's well-documented six-level framework. Corrections fix the table structure and add the quotation caveat rather than adding new sources.
