An inspection of the actual field strata would be a dead giveaway to which process is in fact occuring would it not?
​
There might be secondary structures in the strata that indicate fluid escape in soft sediment: ball-and-pillar, dishes, flame structures, etc.
​
But that seems unimportant to me. The first clue that many folds aren't soft sediment deformation are that they occur in igneous or metamorphic rocks.
