Your reference [2] is a case of nominative determinism.



The fact that the quotation I found was cited in a normative report is irrelevant to the research it (and I) am highlighting - the first two citations; my only goal was to provide some information on the topic, which hopefully another commenter here can expand on. Think of [2] as more of a 'cited in ...' citation than a "here's the evidence" citation.



I don't know how I missed that, even when pointed out. I think I'm much more used to seeing the word "normative" in these discussions than I am "nominative". Thanks for clearing up the confusion.
