Well, to be precise, the Intuitive Explanation describes exactly this error, previously found to have been made by doctors.

You're objecting that this particular instance wasn't described in IEBT, but rather its class was? Otherwise I'm not sure what distinction you're drawing. Or am I missing an edit by the parent?

I'm saying that the doctors are the original and IEBT is the copy, not the other way around.
