Page Miss is not married, OK , OK

My understanding is that Page Miss means that it is Missing, ie not in the virtual memory management list and thus not available via VM.

Whilst Page Fault means that the page was on the list but when called another page was drawn from the memory space or the drawn page was corrupted.

I am open to more informed anserws as I did NOT get this info from MS or any other horse's mouth, but the other end.
