You are most welcome.
I understand that this is not an academic setting. I am simply pointing out the fact that Wikipedia is sometimes inaccurate; it is not considered as a credible source academically.
The Wikipedia article does make an incorrect claim in the "History" section (last sentence), in which it states the following: "Today the Capgras syndrome is understood as a neurological disorder, in which the delusion primarily results from organic brain lesions or degeneration." This is technically incorrect.
