Systems Thinking vs Linear Thinking
Linear thinking follows cause to effect in chains. Systems thinking sees loops where A affects B, B affects C, C loops back to A creating feedback.

−Weick analyzed the Gulch Fire disaster (1994, Colorado) in which 14 firefighters were killed
+Weick analyzed the Mann Gulch fire disaster (1949, Montana) in which 13 smokejumpers were killed
Why this is better
Verified live article content already contains the corrected Mann Gulch/1949/Montana/13-smokejumpers framing. Checked the FAQ JSON-LD schema field; it does not reference Weick's fire analysis at all. Note: the article separately mentions Ray Anderson/Interface Inc. beginning sustainability work in 1994, an unrelated fact in a different section, correctly left untouched. No further action needed.
