I think you're wrong about "general common usage"
When you write in the lede: "in general common usage, concentration is" so-and-so, I won't dispute that a fairly common usage is something like "the concentration of orange juice concentrate to water is one to three" or whatever.
A more common usage, I would submit, is "Pancho Gonzales displayed other-worldly powers of concentration as he came back from two sets down to...."
"Concentration" (and "focus") are such cliches these days that one can hardly listen to a sporting event without being battered by them on a once-a-minute basis, or so it seems to me. Hayford Peirce 01:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
