Could somebody correct the plot outline for "The Americas" documentary series (2025)? It has an easily verifiable false statement.

The mini series documentary "The Americas" ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27739990 ) has a plot outline that falsely states the combined Americas (north and south) is "the largest landmass on Earth". This is not remotely correct. The combined continents' land mass doesn't even surpass the single continent of Asia, let alone the combined continuous landmass of Afro-Eurasia. I submitted an edit that simply removes the false statement - but was declined because of whatever insufferable, pedantic reason that I have zero interest in pursuing further; "Does not meet contribution guidelines". OK then, keep an comically wrong statement in what is purportedly an educational documentary's plot outline. Or somebody who knows how to navigate these guidelines could easily correct the page? Here is basic geography that can be easily sourced by an elementary school student: Asia: 44 million sq km (17 million sq mi) 

Afro-Eurasia (Africa-Eurasia): approx. 85 million sq km (32.8 million sq mi)

The Americas (North and South America combined): approx. 37.7 million sq km (14.5 million sq mi)
