The exact change
The article called Simon's insight the single most important in decision science, gave precise 11M/40-50 bits figures, implied the WHO checklist universally reduces death 47%, said fewer than 15% of active funds outperform over 15 years, credited Five Whys with dramatic defect-resolution gains, and cited a 1994 RAND SPC study with 65%/40% figures.
Qualified the superlatives and rough figures, fixed the 1/N attribution, scoped the WHO and SPC results to what the sources support, and generalized the unverifiable RAND specifics.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
The figures come from studies that are real but were overstated or, in the RAND case, unverifiable as cited. Corrections attribute and scope them 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.
