The live format captures a useful source-critical correction. Viewers challenge a claim about three-cylinder turbines, and a check of individual ship information shows that the Astraeas used triple-expansion engines. The ships predated practical naval turbine adoption, reinforcing the audience's objection to the original wording. The exact source of the error remains uncertain, but the turbine statement is explicitly withdrawn.
