PassageReviewed example
Make proposed remedies answer the diagnosis ↗“two big mistakes…”

PassageReviewed example
Make proposed remedies answer the diagnosis ↗“three of the four foundational harms…”
The recommendation has an explicit link back to the explanatory vocabulary and a nearby scope boundary. A reader can identify what the intervention is intended to change rather than infer the link from the book’s general criticism.

PassageReviewed example
Find the system behind the behavior ↗“only when 10 families…”
The example makes both the reinforcing loop and the proposed coordination device inspectable. The distinction between the design of joint commitment and the author’s preferred age rule prevents them from becoming one undifferentiated recommendation.

PassageReviewed example
Let a failed expectation improve the explanation ↗“I do not find clear evidence…”
The revision changes the unit of judgment from a medium alone to the role it plays and what it displaces. Keeping the original expectation visible lets the reader identify the actual change in the argument.

AnalysisReviewed example
Let a failed expectation improve the explanation ↗In the parent chapter, Haidt reconnects screen use to displaced interaction and sleep and explicitly recalls the qualified gaming account from Chapter 7. His discussion distinguishes moderate use from use that interferes with other areas of life.
The later section makes the earlier revision consequential to the book’s application rather than leaving it as a local concession. The test for the writer is whether the distinction survives the move into recommendations.

How to read the labels
Reviewed examples have a source-linked editorial interpretation. Detected candidates are exact passages or structures retrieved by an explicit rule and still need interpretation. Neither label establishes a cause of bestseller longevity. No missing text is counted as a negative example.
