I skimmed most of the ones you have below and couple others and have to say, 
sadly that they are good and bad for the same reason: they all generally 
conclude that we just don't know enough yet.......good because that's the truth 
and bad because most people want an answer. So there we go again with the 
scientific psychology being very obscure and imprecise for the everyday person 
on the street, who wants 'an' answer.
