Why this is better
Body content and bibliography were already correctly fixed (60 percent figure, Obesity journal) at time of verification. Found the same 'approximately five times more' fabrication still present in the FAQ JSON-LD schema (Q1 'What is the IKEA effect?') and corrected it to match the body's 60 percent figure. Verified clean on re-fetch.
