In the section on prior elicitation it states that limits are chosen by the the expert, then:

Because the quartiles are elicited before the median, this minimizes the effects of the “anchoring and adjustment heuristic”

It goes on to say, then medians are estimated then quartiles, so I think the statement above should be "bounds are elicited before the median".
