SEC XBRL `companyfacts` for Apple, tag `us-gaap:AccruedLiabilitiesCurrent`,
unit `USD` — a genuine restatement captured in the same fetch as the sibling
records in this batch.

Apple filed a 10-K/A on 2010-01-25 (`accn: 0001193125-10-012091`) amending its
FY2009 10-K. For the balance-sheet period ending 2008-09-27, `companyfacts`
contains BOTH:
```json
{"end":"2008-09-27","val":3719000000,
 "accn":"0001193125-09-214859","form":"10-K","filed":"2009-10-27"}
{"end":"2008-09-27","val":4224000000,
 "accn":"0001193125-10-012091","form":"10-K/A","filed":"2010-01-25","frame":"CY2008Q3I"}
```
These are **genuinely different numbers** for the identical reporting period
(3,719,000,000 vs 4,224,000,000 — a real restatement, not a repeat of the
unchanged comparative seen in the other duplicate-period records in this batch).
There is **no field anywhere on either entry marking one as superseded, amended,
or corrected** — `form` and `filed` are the only way to tell which is which, and
an agent that takes "the entry with the matching `end` date" without checking
`form`/`filed` risks silently picking the pre-restatement figure if the array
isn't sorted the way it assumes. The correct rule, confirmed here: among entries
sharing one `(start,end)` pair, prefer the one with the latest `filed` date.
