−predicted that approximately 22 percent of observers would detect their deception. The actual detection rate was approximately 13 percent
+predicted that approximately 49 percent of observers would detect their deception. The actual detection rate was approximately 25 percent
Why this is better
Verified live: body text already shows the corrected Gilovich, Savitsky & Medvec (1998) figures (49%/25%). FAQ field checked (decoded via base64/json/base64/json) - the single FAQ entry summarizes the spotlight effect generally and does not reference the deception-detection percentages, so no FAQ fix was needed. No action required this pass; confirming the existing correct state.
