Sorry but I just can't tolerate M.M.
Buffeting I think can best be described as wind turbulence that bangs your head around from side to side. Duck further below your windshield and it disappears, raise your head above far enough and the air flow gets more laminar (straight) as it hits you, (but without the side to side movement that is more annoying.) Buffeting is caused by disruption of the air flow and is not necessarily all windsield related. Wind can be forced up from underneath your bike, between the forks etc. I've heard that adding wind deflectors to the forks helps with buffeting too. Lots of factors involved and that's why there is no one clear cut answer to correct it. Buffeting happens near the top of the windshield where the air stream behind your windshield meets the air flow that is coming over the top of it. At least that's my take on the definition, cause and effect.
