Its all just circular logic too.
The first APs were discovered by accident. Sombody noted that such drugs had a calming action in their patients.
They later threw together the hypothesis that effective drugs were the ones that blocked d2 receptors.
So now everybody is on the bandwagon to look for disturbances in the d2 receptors.
Just like when SSRI's came out, everybody was looking for disturbances in the serotonin transporter.
A hell of a lot of money and time were used to come up with basically no association at all.
Doctors want one magic bullit, so that they can say, here, take this pill it will correct such and such problems.
