What is computed?
A critical point is a point for which the first derivative of the function under examination vanishes; i.e., f'(x) = 0. Said critical point is degenerated if its second derivative also vanishes; i.e., f''(x) = 0. For the quadratic map, f(x) = Qc so f'(x) = 0 and f''(x) = 2. Therefore, x = 0 is a critical point for Qc, and it is nondegenerated. While it is true that seeds no need to be critical points, frequently the most interesting diagrams are obtained with a seed at or nearby a critical point.
