...’any explanation - whether from Shakyamuni, or some Dzogchen yogin - will always be somewhat in inverted commas.’ We can say certain things, but the answer is never quite coherent, never quite accurate...but that perhaps is preferable to not saying anything.(2)

Yes, excellent! This is why I believe any reconstructed Buddhism has to be meta-systematic; no system can be credible as such anymore.

Working off your STEM pieces, wouldn't your ideal Buddhism have good things for Levels 3, 4, and 5, with encouragement to move up and clear paths to do it?
