That's certainly an issue, probably a contributing one. But the statistics strongly suggest that autopsy results aren't used to reduce error, as doctors are just as wrong now as they were eighty years ago.
... in cases where the patient dies. (The cited statistic does not refer to the overall error rate.)
Yes. But that isn't the point. It holds across all deaths, not those necessarily caused by the error.
