taekwondo1-3, Exercise 3: Mismatches and a changed story

Model answer:

Any two of:
- First kwans: the Taekwondo article says kwans opened beginning in 1945; the Kwan article dates Song Moo Kwan to March 1944 and Chung Do Kwan to September 1944. Handled by reporting both and marking the 1944 dates as the Kwan article's claims.
- "Original" kwans: the Taekwondo article refers to the "nine original kwans"; the Kwan article calls five the original ones and says four more opened after the Korean War. Handled by noting that the count depends on the source.
- KTA date: the Kwan article says the KTA was established "shortly after the Korean War"; the Taekwondo article says 1959. Handled by using 1959 and noting the vaguer wording.

Why Choi's story matters: the Choi Hong-hi article says he "originally claimed" he studied with a taekkyon master, then recanted, saying he never studied taekkyeon and that it had nothing to contribute to taekwondo. A founder's own account of the origins can therefore change, so it is a claim to be checked against other sources, not a fact, and the same caution applies to rank claims.
