    No recognized 1992 Cirillo paper; canonical publication is the 2006 book the article itself cites.

    Before

    research published since Cirillo's original 1992 paper have provided

    After

    research published since Cirillo's 2006 book have provided

    Why: There is no recognized 1992 Cirillo paper; the canonical publication is the 2006 book that the article itself cites elsewhere. Verified the live article body, blockquote citation, and bibliography all already consistently reference the 2006 book with no 1992 mention. The faq field mentions Cirillo but only in the context of 'late 1980s' (when he created the technique), not an unverified 1992 publication date, so no secondary fix was needed there.
