The exact change
The article said ant colonies produce globally optimal paths, prediction markets consistently outperform experts, and Tetlock established a universal finding that crowds outperform expert consensus.
Qualified each claim to what the underlying research supports (near-optimal rather than global optimum; frequent rather than consistent outperformance; tournament-specific rather than universal).
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
These were reasonable summaries stated more absolutely than the research supports. Corrections add the appropriate qualifications rather than adding new sources.
