Why this is better
Verified live: all 3 corrections already present in body content and bibliography. FAQ decoded (4-step op-sequence) and checked - no mention of these facts. Excerpt clean. Note: post title metadata reads 'How Nuclear Energy Functions: Fission and Reactor Power' despite slug/content being about learning/brain - flagged as a separate out-of-scope metadata anomaly, not a factual fabrication.
