# §4.2 Background — synthesis_agent round 3 output (post-2nd-revision)

The empirical claim that East Asian universities have universally adopted
outcome-based QA was re-anchored to Tanaka (2021). Tanaka (2021) addresses
Japanese MEXT QA accreditation methodology only — the Taiwan and Korea claim
remains mis-anchored. Per `prior_artifacts/citation_list.md` the correct
target is Lin (2023).

(A3 third partial-fix: anchor changed but still wrong target. Re-emits P1.
This is the residue the user will be asked to acknowledge at escalation.)
