1. Bill Gates quote: flagged as folklore-grade. Was "Bill Gates put it more memorably" (firm attribution). Now "The old line (widely attributed to Bill Gates, sourcing murky) puts it more memorably." The quote stands; honesty about attribution avoids the same misattribution trap we just fixed for Kernighan. 2. Capers Jones: "15-50 across thousands of projects" → "roughly 16-38 LOC/day across thousands of projects" — matches his actual published measurements (which also report as 325-750 LOC/month). 3. Steve McConnell: "10-50 for finished, tested, delivered code" was folklore. Replaced with his actual project-size-dependent range from Code Complete: "20-125 LOC/day for small projects (10K LOC) down to 1.5-25 for large projects (10M LOC) — it's size-dependent, not a single number." 4. Revert rate comparison: "Kubernetes, Rails, and Django historically run 1.5-3%" was unsourced. Replaced with "mature OSS codebases typically run 1-3%" + "run the same command on whatever you consider the bar and compare." No false specificity about which repos. Net: every quantitative citation in the post now matches primary-source figures or is explicitly flagged as folklore. Neckbeards can verify.
