That has been the goal of neuroscience for decades.

I go with what works. I pinpoint MAO-A, not because I am describing a particular etiology, but, rather, to characterize the properties of effective drugs.
Our diminutive theories don't compare with the sophistication and volume of work being done in the field by professional scientists and investigative clinicians - and these people don't presume to understand a damned thing.
