   Why: Body text and bibliography were already correctly fixed (both cite 'American Psychologist' for the 2012 Nisbett et al. review, matching the article's own reference list, DOI 10.1037/a0026699). However the FAQ JSON-LD schema still contained the stale 'Psychological Science in the Public Interest' journal attribution in the race-and-IQ Q&A.

   Fixed the FAQ answer to 'American Psychologist', re-encoded using the reverse op sequence, PUT the post, and verified via re-fetch + re-decode that the FAQ array (7 entries) is valid, contains the corrected journal name, and no longer contains the stale one.
