It’s from the book I mention right at the beginning of the essay. https://www.amazon.com/Think-Like-Super-GM-Michael-Adams/dp/...

Where is the linked post getting the 4:1 vs 1:2 time-spent-on-falsification ratios that it's claiming? It's like the heart of the entire argument, but it's not sourced.
Edit: Ah, okay, it's probably in the book being discussed where he says they recorded thought process while playing ( https://www.amazon.com/Think-Like-Super-GM-Michael-Adams/dp/... ).

You’re right that GMs are much faster ideating, I point this out later in the essay. But they also spend longer on falsification, even in absolute terms.
