Should these random surface patterns really be referred to as 'Pattern Welded' ?

I also thought about this question, Rick.
I tend to vote "yes" - especially since there seems to be no objective cut-off between random and "forced" patterns but rather a broad continuum between the extremes. There also seem to be quite some patterns which were not strictly planned but only slightly coaxed into a direction preferred by the smith.
