Ah, I took what she said to mean kids asking why is the same as being reductionist.

But we can ask and indeed answer why questions without doing quantum mechanics IMHO.

Yep, I don't think reductionism requires that all questions must be reduced down to the lowest level (I don't even think that's possible, there may not be a lowest level), just that it's possible to keep going down until you find the appropriate level for the question.

Interesting and inclusive definition. That would make more people reductionists than I think most people think.

Yea, I suppose it's better to classify me as a practical reductionist.

I don't identify with "reductionist" at all. Just to be clear. Although I'm aware you can create a definition that might include me, I don't think that's the standard one.

That's fair to say. I think hardline reductionists have given the name some unfortunate baggage. We need to take it back!

No no, I was speaking in jest. I don't actually disagree with that statement really. One shouldn't use ONLY the feathers.
