Domain-specific¶
- Curse Of Knowledge
- The identical structure governs medical informed consent: a clinician who deeply understands a procedure writes a consent form whose terms feel plain to them but leave patients understanding little, and the corrective is to test the form with naive readers and revise to measured comprehension rather than to assumed clarity.
This sourceShows expert-drafted consent forms are comprehensible only at university level until tested and revised with naive readers, after which readability drops to primary-school level — the route-through-the-audience corrective for consent documents.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
