Well, one way to start is whenever someone proposes a signaling model ask the following question:
1) What is being signaled?
2) Why is the allegedly signaling behavior a credible signal, either now or in the EEA?
That's a great test of whether a model is actually a signalling model, but not so useful for determining whether any particular signalling model is insightful or true.
