They should call it “lobotomy”.

The picture on top of the article looks pretty much like what Walter Freeman would have used as an ad in the 1930s for his door-to-door “ice pick through the eye socket” procedure.

Well, at least unlike most people parroting that word as a metaphor, this time you're an example of someone correctly using it to refer to the removal of a structure within the model.

But no, that picture is pretty far from what you say.

I remember when I was in primary school, someone brought in an astronomy book for show and tell, and said one of the pictures was "a mouse". It was a diagram of a moon's orbit around a planet at two different points in that planet's orbit.

This picture is just a diagrammatic arrow showing a direction.
