Why this is better

Body text and inline FAQ section were already correctly fixed from the prior session, but the invisible FAQ JSON-LD field (read by search engines/AI crawlers) still had BOTH stale fabrications: the 3400 BCE/Nippur claim and the equal-temperament mislabeling of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Decoded the faq field (base64->json->base64->json), corrected both answers, re-encoded using the exact reverse sequence. Verified post-PUT that the FAQ field still resolves to a valid 7-item array with both fixes present and no unverified text remaining.
