If it were a scientific understanding of alcohol addiction, then I would agree about the necessity of precision. However, we are talking about human behavior, and humans make irrational decisions each and every day. In my opinion, an effective approach needs to appeal to the wide variety of factors that make up and motivate each person. The most important thing about any individual approach is that a person believes it will work. Ulitmately, the fundamental element of any approach is to simply never drink, anything extra is simply padding to make it more palatable.
