Actually the phrase doesn't mean anything at all to any reader. It's a completely redundant phrase, period. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is meant for its readers, not for its editors, and if another editor who is knowledgeable in the field doesn't understand what you're talking about, then certainly most readers won't either. You can't insert a phrase like that which has no meaning outside of context, into a place where no context is given.  (Talk)
