Not entirely true. It's a different kind of vibrato with limited
amplitude, but quite easy to

Don't feel bad. I'm a string player and every time I come across
harmonics I have to stop and figure out what's intend
Thanks to Owain, Christopher and Lee for your thoughts on harmonics
notation. I'm going to stick with the artificial harmonics notation
for the extended passage I was referring to.
This list is a very useful resource!

it is impossible, will always play an artificial harmonic rather than
a natural one. They explain that it is for tuning, as you can't tune

Continue with the P4-above notation. It's perfectly normal and
acceptable to use it for open-string harmonics, and in this context
anything else is more unwieldly.
