What was corrected
What the page claimed
The article said Redish's single study directly caused the Plain Writing Act of 2010, and stated the sentence-length effect was consistent across all reader levels and embedded in every major readability formula.
What was corrected
Qualified the causal claim about legislation and softened the absolute 'every' and 'consistent' framing to what Klare's meta-analysis actually supports.
Why this is better
A single study rarely causes federal legislation directly, and 'every' and 'consistent across all levels' overstate typical research findings. Corrections add appropriate scope rather than adding new sources.
