    The 70% figure is not from a 1993 meta-analysis; attributing it to one is an unverified citation

    Before

    A 1993 meta-analysis estimated that 70% of the general population experiences imposter feelings at some point.

    After

    Commonly cited estimates suggest that around 70% of the general population experiences imposter feelings at some point.

    Why: Verified live content already correctly uses the softened, non-unverified framing. FAQ and excerpt checked, no leftover fabrication found. No action needed.
