The exact change
The article attributed a widely repeated quotation directly to Einstein and characterized Perrow's Normal Accidents as an examination of 100 years of systematic accident data.
Flagged the quotation's uncertain attribution and reframed Perrow's work as case-study-based rather than a formal 100-year dataset analysis.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The quotation lacks a verified primary source despite common attribution, and Perrow's book is case-study analysis rather than a large historical dataset study. Corrections add the appropriate caveats rather than adding new sources.
How this record is verified
- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, When Notes Fly, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
- It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
