The exact change
The article described reference class forecasting as the primary empirically validated method for correcting the planning fallacy, implying it is uniquely dominant among debiasing methods.
Softened the claim to describe it as one of the more empirically supported methods rather than the primary one.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The claim overstated the method's uniqueness relative to other debiasing approaches. Correction adds the appropriate qualification rather than adding new sources.
