Why this is better
Verified live article content already contains both corrections: the 20-total/14-production-Concorde distinction and the thirty-four-day Amundsen gap. Checked the FAQ JSON-LD schema field; it does not mention Concorde production counts or the Amundsen/Scott day gap at all. No further action needed.
