Yes, and fatigue is not all one thing. We don't even have a clear, definite understanding of fatigue, with clinical tests to measure the different types accurately. The wiki definition includes three known causes of physical fatigue, not even considering cognitive fatigue. My point was that a title of a paper, or even the whole paper, might be misleading if they don't define fatigue clearly.
