What Is Decision Making Under Uncertainty?
Decision making under uncertainty means choosing when you don't know all outcomes or probabilities. Use probabilistic thinking and scenarios.
What was corrected
The article cited a specific McKinsey 2023 report figure and a Heneghan et al. 2017 'systematic review' that ran primary think-aloud protocols on 41 GPs, finding a precise 3.4-hypotheses average.
Generalized both citations to what can be verified, correcting the study-design inconsistency (a review analyzing new primary data) and softening the precise figures to illustrative ones.
Why this is better
Both citations showed signs of unverified precision: an unverifiable specific report and a methodological inconsistency (a 'review' running new primary protocols). Corrections generalize the claims rather than inventing a corrected source.
