Here's an example where problems in citations led to real world harms:
There was a typo in an old CDC pamphlet about how viruses spread
The typo was about how big particles needed to be to spread via the air vs touching contaminated surfaces

look sometimes humans need specific tools for specific tasks
this applies to using wheelchairs for longer distances, instead of walking
just like how you might take a plane to travel a long distance, instead of driving

When I was a kid I used to think the barbarism of the Middle Ages was a long time ago--thank goodness we're no longer living in those times!--but the older I get, the more I realize: we're still in the Middle Ages.
