Why this is better

Verified fix already fully applied; the middle condition is correctly labeled SSST (matching Roediger & Karpicke 2006's actual study design), distinct from the correct SSSS label for the separate pure-repeated-study condition. FAQ field does not reference this fact. No further changes needed.
