I detect at least three approaches. One is scientific, as Federico has laid it 
out. The other is a practictioner,  as I believe Jack gave us earlier.  But 
then there is the philosophical, where we want to know not only what is the 
case, and what works, but what is true, or at least self-consistent.   

This brings me back to my earlier question, why is the Buddhadharma different?
