Why this is better

Corrected 5 factual errors: Johnson & Goldstein (2003) organ-donation opt-in rates for Germany/UK (the 4%/28% figures belonged to Denmark/Netherlands); Hallsworth et al. (2017) journal (Journal of Public Economics, not Nature Human Behaviour); Benartzi et al. (2017) journal (Psychological Science, not Journal of Marketing Research); Schultz et al. (2007) study location (San Marcos, California, not Ojai); and Thaler & Benartzi (2004) SMarT timeframe (about 40 months, not 28). Verified already live in body content at all 5 locations; FAQ's Save More Tomorrow answer already correctly states 40 months.
