Why this is better

Body text already correctly said 'about two weeks of confinement' for the Bastille stay and used the full correct title 'Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica' for Newton's work. But the invisible FAQ JSON-LD field's 'What was the Enlightenment?' answer still used the bare, incorrect title 'Principia Mathematica' (which properly refers to the later Whitehead-Russell work). Decoded the faq field (base64->json->base64->json), corrected the title, re-encoded using the exact reverse sequence. Verified post-PUT that the FAQ field still resolves to a valid 6-item array with the fix present. The eleven-months/Bastille fabrication was not present anywhere in the FAQ.
