If you are talking about the prakaranas, then I agree but it but it is
absolutely necessary that the interpretations of the prasthana trayi
should be consistent if Shankaracharya is to be taken seriously as a
philosophe by Indian standards not to mention Western ones.  Thus Swami
Sacchidanandendras method is valid even if his conclusions may not be.
