Missing context
What was corrected
What the page claimed
The article described reference class forecasting as the primary empirically validated method for correcting the planning fallacy, implying it is uniquely dominant among debiasing methods.
What was corrected
Softened the claim to describe it as one of the more empirically supported methods rather than the primary one.
Why this is better
The claim overstated the method's uniqueness relative to other debiasing approaches. Correction adds the appropriate qualification rather than adding new sources.
