Each entry below was verified against the linked documents on 12–13 August 2026 — the exact finding, the evidence class, at least four sources per fact, a "find it yourself" trail, and the boundary conditions that headlines usually drop. Filter by ledger, filter by evidence class, or search. Then read the corrections: the fifteen most common misquotes in this debate, and what the sources actually say.
Both sides of the AI-cost argument lean on numbers their own sources do not say. Keeping this list public is the point of the artifact.
