it’s probably more like a process of diagnosis on the basis of the symptoms. I was just trying to give some examples of the behaviour as described in Wikipedia (I didn’t include the references but there some).
BTW, Wikipedia is just a medium. Whether a particular entry is of high or low quality depends on how it was put together and by who (just like a scientific paper).
