  1. 28 July 2026 · corrected by Emir Baycan

    Corrected two attribution precision issues: clarified that the U.S. Army's After Action Review process was developed within Army training doctrine and later refined and promoted by the Center for Army Lessons Learned (established 1985), rather than developed by CALL itself; and reframed the Tetlock finding as a pattern consistent with his forecasting research (experts resisting belief updates tied to identity) rather than a precisely documented specific finding.

    Before

    The article attributed AAR's development directly to the Center for Army Lessons Learned and presented an inferential characterization of Tetlock's work as his specific documented finding.

    After

    Corrected the AAR institutional history and softened the Tetlock attribution to reflect it as a pattern consistent with his research rather than a precise quoted finding.

    Why: AAR predates CALL's founding and was refined rather than originated by it; the Tetlock claim was a reasonable inference stated as a specific finding. Corrections add precision rather than adding new sources.
