Why this is better

Verified live: all three corrections already present in body - no 'SARA model' text (now reads 'four cognitive operations'), 'Paul Slovic' (not Philip), and 'Robert Caplan, Karen Posner, Cheney, and Ward' in both body and bibliography. Checked FAQ (5 Q&A, does not mention Slovic/Caplan/Posner/SARA) and excerpt - no leftover fabrication found anywhere. Already fully correct, no further action needed.
