What was corrected
What the page claimed
The article attributed a widely repeated quotation directly to Einstein and characterized Perrow's Normal Accidents as an examination of 100 years of systematic accident data.
What was corrected
Flagged the quotation's uncertain attribution and reframed Perrow's work as case-study-based rather than a formal 100-year dataset analysis.
Why this is better
The quotation lacks a verified primary source despite common attribution, and Perrow's book is case-study analysis rather than a large historical dataset study. Corrections add the appropriate caveats rather than adding new sources.
