There were two:

1) She was clearly angered when Reiner teased her about her constant avoidance in hand-to-hand combat training. However, retrospectively, it seems that he hinted to their scuffle following Marcel's death.

I removed the second line because what happens in chapter 96 looks unrelated to Annie's hand to hand combat avoidance in chapter 17. They scuffle, but there's no dodging either literally or metaphorically on Annie's part. I don't see the connection or why she would be reminded of that fight specifically. The context and atmosphere is completely different.

2) When she was 11 years old, she already knew that the Marleyan government were liars 

I removed this because it's misleading. From a purely objective standpoint, this is a loaded statement with nothing to support how she knew that the Marleyan government is lying or what they are lying to her about. They're not nice people, but their military concerns seem valid and the warrior unit doesn't seem to have been lied to about their mission.

Her full speech on the cited page is "Who gives a damn?!  Marley, Eldia, they can all go to hell! They're all liars, every one of them! They only ever think about themselves!  And I'm the same!"

As the article was written, only the part about Marley was placed there, making it seem like something she found out due to her intelligence, but if you read the whole speech it's not a logical conclusion. Annie is ranting. T hat's why Eldia and Marley are  both  liars even though she was born after Eldia ceased to exist and has no firsthand knowledge of it. Her speech blames them equally.

It's the equivalent of an angry kid saying "All adults are liars." Her words are not a factual statement. The emotion behind them might be real, and some lying probably happened on an individual level (in which case it would need to be cited), but that doesn't make the entire thing true.
