Difference between string which snap due to usage vs a "mis-hit"

How do you tell the difference between a string which broke from natural wear&tear vs from a "mis-hit" eg from hitting the feather?

Here are two examples - the pix(s) are pretty much self explanatory (or "clear-cut")😄


Due to wear and tear

Due to "mis-hit"

From the pix(s) you can tell the string which snap due to wear and tear has evidence of fraying before it gave way from the stringing tension.

Likewise, the string which snap due to a "mis-hit" shows some form of a clean-cut-thru before the string tension caused failure.
