A recapture of a discussion with Nicolas about the description of perturbing agent in PD spec.

I see. The definition is:

"Biochemical networks can be affected by external infl uences. Those infl uences can be well-defined physical perturbing agents, such as a light pulse or a change in temperature; they can also be more complex and not well-defined phenomena, for instance a biological process, an experimental setup, or a mutation. For these situations, SBGN provides the perturbing agent glyph. It is an EPN, and represents the amount to perturbing agent applied to a process."

Should-we change it to something like:

"Biochemical networks can be affected by external influences. Those influences can be the effect of well-defined physical perturbing agents, such as a light pulse or a change in temperature; they can also be more complex and not well-defined phenomena, for instance the outcome of a biological process, an experimental setup, or a mutation. For these situations, SBGN provides the perturbing agent glyph. It is an EPN, and represents the amount to perturbing agent applied to a process."
