Dear All,
Actually the class was also designed for cutting parts from
archaeological objects, natural history stuff etc. We had a long
discussion if, in the very instant, a part is broken from a natural
object, e.g. for sampling, the diminished becomes "human made". We later
ultimately decided that this violates identity criteria of classes. It
just leaves a human-made feature on a natural object.
Therefore, we need to revise wherever this logic had been applied before.
Best,
Martin

Ahh, thank you, I understand now. Well, the scope notes of the various
classes and properties should be improved to make that clear if it's
the case.
And then we would need to have the discussion about how to remove
fragments from meteorites, so I hope that's _not_ the case :D

I completely understand the reasoning and I agree that intuitively a
tree with a broken branch is a diminished thing. It is just that the
scope note and all of the examples in E80 Part Removal are for
Human-Made things so I worry that the class has been designed for
Human-Made things only, i.e. breaking off the original branch may
not be
E80. Part Addition and Part Removal are designed to allow us to track
the use of a component integrated intentionally in multiple
objects over
its history, so it may be that a thing needs to be added before it
can
be removed. If we care about the tree prior to cutting the branch
then
it may be only a modification. Am I taking it too far?
Having said that, pushing the property higher in the hierarchy,
although
I am told we should avoid it in general, in this case it may not
cause
too many problems.

P.S. Amazingly, the inconsistency between the scope note and property
range existed since version 3.4.
