Why this is better

Verified live: the two citation corrections (journal names) were already fixed in article content. However, found a genuine leftover of the third fabrication: the H3 section heading and its id attribute still misattributed the Romeo and Juliet study to Pennebaker et al. (1979) even though the paragraph directly below it correctly names Driscoll, Davis, and Lipetz (1972). Fixed the heading text and anchor id, PUT back, and verified clean on fresh re-fetch and the live rendered page. Left two other legitimate, separate mentions of the real Pennebaker et al. (1979) closing-time study (a comparison table citation list and its own correct bibliography entry) untouched, as those are not part of this fabrication. FAQ JSON-LD checked and found clean.
