T-005: Bentz 2010, Lemma 10 is false as printed and true as corrected to
V3 C3 correction confirmed
Bentz 2010, Lemma 10 is false as printed -- the middle replacement point (1, 1.74) is refuted by an exact escape certificate, and the published page image carries the same transposed text -- and true under the corrected reading (1.74, 1), with all three corrected replacement covers certified exactly.
Significance, composition and next rung
- Significance
- An erratum-level finding about the published record: real and citable, settled to the journal's own page image, changing no theorem.
- Next rung
- Communicate the erratum to the author or journal; nothing mechanical remains on our side.
- Novelty
- apparently-novel Not found in the recorded search, subject to its stated gaps
