   2 corrections applied: Norman joined Apple in 1993, not 1988; 1988 was the publication year of The Design of Everyday Things. | WebAIM Million 2022: ~96.8% overall failure rate; 83.9% is specifically the low-contrast-text share, not the overall rate.

   Before

   In 1988, Donald Norman joined Apple and brought with him a title that had not previously existed... | ...found that 83.9% had detectable WCAG failures on their home pages, with low contrast text being the most common failure...

   After

   In 1993, Donald Norman joined Apple and brought with him a title that had not previously existed... | ...found that 96.8% had detectable WCAG failures on their home pages, with low contrast text being the most common failure (found on 83.9% of home pages).

   Why: Verified both corrections are present in the body text: Norman joining Apple in 1993 (1988 is correctly retained elsewhere as the publication year of The Design of Everyday Things), and the WebAIM figures correctly reframed (96.8% overall failure rate, 83.9% specifically for low-contrast text). This article has no bibliography/FAQ section referencing these facts, so there was no secondary location to check. No changes needed.
