What Is Ethical Decision Making?
Ethical decision making weighs right vs wrong using moral frameworks like consequentialism (judge by outcomes) or deontology (follow universal rules).
What was corrected
The article attributed the habit-quotation directly to Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, credited Klein's 1999 Sources of Power with the pre-mortem finding, and stated White House political pressure was evident in the Challenger launch decision.
Corrected the quotation's attribution, separated Klein's 1999 book from his later pre-mortem work and its 1989 academic basis, and qualified the Challenger White House claim to what the Rogers Commission actually established.
Why this is better
The quotation is commonly misattributed, the pre-mortem timeline had been conflated, and the White House claim is a widely repeated but not commission-verified detail. Corrections fix the attribution and timeline and qualify the disputed claim rather than adding new sources.
