Wikipedia pages for niche STEM topics tend to be made by 1 or 2 people, obsessed with the topic, but often not very good at high level abstract communication. So you get a technically-correct mess like that article. If you are an expert in a niche stem topic, look up the wikipedia article for it, then use that experience to fight the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect for the rest. I use wikipedia for a lot of topics, but not topics like this. An LLM is a better bet these days.
