The exact change
35 percent recommendation-purchase figure attributed directly to Amazon; 25 percent crew-accident figure attributed to Helmreich with no real source; heart-attack diagnosis study cited as 2007 Psychological Science.
Recommendation-purchase figure now correctly attributed to a 2013 McKinsey estimate, noted as unverified; crew-accident claim softened to what Helmreich's real research actually supports, without the invented percentage; diagnostic heuristic study now correctly cited as Green and Mehr, 1997.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
Verified each named-study and named-statistic claim against the real research literature; found real researchers and real phenomena with invented, misattributed, or mis-cited specifics layered on top.
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.
