(goes and looks)

Critical Research Failure:
Current text: This can be [[Played for Laughs]] by having a [[Book Dumb]] character make such an error so that a smarter character can spot and react to it.
Proposed change: This can be [[Played for Laughs]] by having a [[Book Dumb]] character make such an error so that a smart character can correct him/her.
Problem: Violation of the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment. The re-write says that Book Dumb people are completely dumb.

Media Research Failure/Web Media:
Current text: On the internet, information is little more than a click away. Unfortunately, so is a sea of misinformation.
Proposed change: The Internet is not at least 100% at accurate information, sometimes, it can have some misinformation.
Problem: The replacement is less grammatically-correct than the sentence that it proposes to replace.


I'm going to reject the edit to Critical Research Failure and leave a note on the troper's user page - there's a clear policy violation here. EDIT: And done.

I'll leave the edit to Media Research Failure/Web Media in the moderation queue.
