re "Prosthetics is the word for the medical specialty dealing with prostheses" - exactly - Prosthetics is the in-game term for that Research goal (bottom of tree, below "Mortar"). "Prosthesis" is not anywhere in game, and is a generic term covering anything from peg legs to a nuclear heart. "Bionics" and "Archotech" (and Prosthetics) all equally deal with "prostheses" - and peg legs and wooden feet fall under that heading to boot. A more apt analogy would be if "gunsmithing" weapons (rifle, shotgun, revolver - from that Research goal) were put under an article titled "guns", and all other firearms were on their own. In short - the Prosthetics research goal does not have any claim to the term "prosthesis/es" that the others don't (aside from being etymological cousins), much less an over-riding one.
