We just need to understand what was the type of the fault or see deviations from expected properties. I would correct it a bit as “Memoretics is the study of computer memory contents or a subset of this, usually to diagnose the fault type and deviations from expected code behaviour" This is the "usual" or "practical" side. However we shouldn't limit ourselves to faulty behaviour as debugging does and consider what we can get from studying expected code behaviour like reverse engineering does. Anyway we are still in the process of figuring out the domain of Memoretics. We just need to be sure that is not broad enough :-) If we consider the “usually” part we get memory dumps when customers observed faulty behaviour.

How about an alternate definition "Memoretics is the study of computer memory contents or a subset of this, usually to diagnose a fault in expected code behaviour" I like the idea. How about an alternate definition
