I'm actually more interested in the set of plausible explanations, than the actual explanations. A possible explanation for an error can perhaps teach us something, even if it wasn't the one responsible for it in this world.

I don't really expect you to find explanations, but you could get insights which would help you to interpret their works in the right context.

I had the experience several times that I could move from fuzzy to definite feelings over topics, just by talking to the right people.
