The SRAM figure was quoted without its qualifier

"Runs in 50 KB" does not survive one technical reader. The full form is now the only form.

The figure and the qualifier. Quoting the first without the second overstates what the hardware has to provide.

The error

A true number, told misleadingly

Fifty kilobytes of SRAM is correct and measured. Quoted alone it implies the engine needs fifty kilobytes of memory, which is false: it also needs a memory-mapped index region, and on a target without one the figure is meaningless.

No individual statement was untrue. The omission did the work, which is the harder kind of overclaim to catch because nothing in it can be pointed at and called wrong.

The rule that follows

Same breath, every time

The qualifier now travels with the number in every context including slides, and the site enforces it by carrying the full form in the label rather than in a footnote beneath it.

Why this is a correction and not an edit

Nobody demanded it and no customer noticed. Recording it anyway is the only version of the corrections invariant that means anything.
