Abstract
When we consider a new theory and we wish to uncover its merits and shortcomings, it is necessary to take into account the data that support both the theory as a whole and each individual assumption that makes up the theory and to compare it with alternative theories and assumptions that have similar descriptive and explanatory goals. This is what I will do in the following pages with Reinhart's “The Theta System”.
