The exact change

Before

The article said focused deterrence is universally more effective, that HITECH/EHRs caused the overall rise in physician burnout, that Goodhart's Law holds across nearly every accountability domain, and that Planner aid programs systematically underperform Searcher programs; it also mentioned the cobra bounty story.

After

Qualified the focused-deterrence, burnout, Goodhart, and Planner/Searcher claims to what the sources support, and confirmed the cobra story was already flagged as apocryphal.

Suggested change

See before/after.

Why this is better

The flagged claims were more universal or causal than the evidence supports; the cobra story was already handled. Corrections scope the claims rather than adding new sources.
