Do we want to give a justification for this? It seems like a stretch to expect students can justify why this is the case. However I'm not sure how feasible it is to do that succinctly.

I'm not too concerned about this one... I worry saying too much more will make it into a tangent and then more distracting. I've slightly tweaked to the following:

"""
Even if the sample is bigger than 10%, assuming independence
will lead to more conservative results than what we would
get using more advanced methods.
