Suggested change
De-attributed the quote to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim.
Why this is better
Removed a quote attributed to 'Dr. Eileen Kintsch' with no citation, while the article's own reference list cites only 'Kintsch, W.' (Walter Kintsch), a name mismatch indicating a conflated or unverified attribution. Converted to unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim.
