Although it no doubt has it's uses. Well the word symptom does indeed sound like a medical condition. I used it partially to reflect the irony that in some circles meditation is perceived that that way. Yep, the reductionist approach rarely adds anything of much value.

In this case seemingly it reflects the good old-fashioned reductionist approaches which are far from being enough these days for some serious scientific interest. Some times it touches the ridiculous/hilarious when – like in this case – it proves almost nothing (in terms of usefulness). But maybe it is just the original article that reflects it like this. Many good points here Marcus. It can be considered a symptom, although for me it kind of sounds like referring to a medical condition.
