Er... 'reductionist' is a term of abuse, and rightly so.

I remember once in junior high I got in a huge argument with one of my friends because he made a list of all the NFL teams and gave them a rating from 1-5 for offense, defense, and overall. I then got all mad at him because his offense and defense numbers didn't average out consistently to his overall numbers and asked him the difference was from special teams. He then got all mad and said something about "intangibles" Tongue
