Shouldn't the opening sentence say something like "Phrenology is the ''now mostly-discredited'' formal practice of assigning personality traits to individual people on the basis of the contour of their skulls and facial features."? I say "mostly" because there is the theory that one can sometimes tell something about the character of a person (especially an older person) from their face, but I thought the skull shape thing was pretty dead now.

Opening sentence
Shouldn't the opening sentence say something like "Phrenology is the now mostly-discredited formal practice of assigning personality traits to individual people on the basis of the contour of their skulls and facial features."? I say "mostly" because there is the theory that one can sometimes tell something about the character of a person (especially an older person) from their face, but I thought the skull shape thing was pretty dead now.
