A caveat, David: in order to really test a viewpoint I have to get inside it. That sounds the same as a full endorsement. If I sound cocky at times while doing this, it's not because I am not aware that I am "reaching". But unless I "reach" for something I never can really grasp it, and will never change my mind about anything. I do not know the end of the process. And even then, I may find out something different when I die, of course. Also, I don't think this is one of the most important questions for living.
 
I thought of a way to explain why I shrink from what you call reductionism. To me, it is like trying to evolve the whole eye or wing one feature at a time.
