Alexander the Great
Corrected or tempered pseudoscientific, pop-psychology claims about how Alexander's personality traits were "instilled" or "forged" in him by his parents. This is inconsistent with a ton of research in personality psychology. Added references pointing to the well-established findings that traits are generally passed on to their children genetically. Removed the pseudoscientific claims, or added text to indicate that such claims cannot, in fact, be tested. Rephrased some in tentative language.

Chicxulub crater
Adjusted some geological jargon that would likely be misinterpreted by a nongeologist reader (replaced "date" with "time" and "coincides precisely with" with "coincides with"). Lay readers cannot be expected to understand what geologists mean by "date" and "precision." Geological time estimates may be precise when the margin of error is millions of years. To lead readers to think that this is "precise" or yields a "date" in the lay sense of these words is inappropriate.
