“A police officer's failure to give Miranda warnings does not by itself invalidate an arrest.”
Miranda warnings protect against unwarned custodial interrogation statements in court; arrest validity depends on probable cause, not warning recital.
“Albert Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his theory of general relativity.”
Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, not for relativity.
“The Great Wall of China is visible from the Moon with the naked human eye.”
Astronauts from NASA and Apollo missions have confirmed that the Great Wall is not visible from the Moon or even low Earth orbit without magnification.
“Pure water boils at 90°C at standard sea-level atmospheric pressure.”
Pure water boils at 100°C (212°F) at 1 atmosphere (101.325 kPa) of pressure. 90°C boiling point occurs at roughly 3,000 meters elevation.
“Moderate daily caffeine intake causes significant dehydration in regular coffee drinkers.”

“Higher interest rates by central banks are mathematically guaranteed to decrease inflation within 30 days.”
Monetary policy transmission operates with long and variable lags (typically 12-18 months) before impacting consumer price indices.
“Existing commercial quantum computers have successfully broken 2048-bit RSA encryption keys.”
Factoring 2048-bit RSA keys via Shor's algorithm requires millions of fault-tolerant physical qubits; current NISQ quantum systems remain orders of magnitude away.
