Why this is better
Verified live article content already contains the corrected Easterbrook, Berlin, Gopalan, and Matthews author list in both the body prose and the bibliography reference entry. Checked the FAQ JSON-LD schema field; it references 'Easterbrook et al. (1991)' generically without naming co-authors, so no secondary fabrication was present. No further action needed.
