I agree irreducible implies something wholistic. But how many partial failures does it take for it to be significant? The paper I referenced overviews about a dozen disorders. And yet one dysfunction alone creates a wholistic obstruction to reduction. Perhaps a solution to each obstruction exists, and if it's presented I'll be open to it.
