Why this is better

There is no recognized 1992 Cirillo paper; the canonical publication is the 2006 book that the article itself cites elsewhere. Verified the live article body, blockquote citation, and bibliography all already consistently reference the 2006 book with no 1992 mention. The faq field mentions Cirillo but only in the context of 'late 1980s' (when he created the technique), not an unverified 1992 publication date, so no secondary fix was needed there.
