For example, in the Processes Suite of the System Events dictionary, the application class shows “process” as an element. However, the definition says it contains the element “processes”.

Each "process" object is a single element among all the processes currently running. The term "processes" appears in the dictionary under the heading "Processes" in the plural; this is alternative AppleScript terminology for 'every process'.

Yes. That is my point. The definition says the dictionary contains the "processes," so shouldn't the graph show the same? Instead, it shows that "application" contains an element called "process," rather than "processes." Isn't the graph wrong?
