The exact change

Before

The article cited a Berk-van Binsbergen 2016 JFE 10-15% skill finding, a Fresard 2019 consistent-framework result, an Ericsson-Whyte-Ward 2007 diagnostic-accuracy study, a fixed 5-10x engineering safety factor, and practitioner cases proving mental models caused performance.

After

Fixed the Berk-van Binsbergen citation and finding, generalized the unverifiable Fresard and Ericsson results, corrected the safety-factor figure, and framed practitioner cases as illustrations.

Suggested change

See before/after.

Why this is better

Several citations named the wrong year/journal or a study that could not be verified, and the safety-factor figure was wrong. Corrections fix the citations and figures and scope the claims 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.
