Abstract
How can we convince ourselves that the considerations of the previous sections really make sense? Clearly, all what we can do for the foreseeable future to test these ideas are consistency checks. Such checks can be highly non-trivial, from a formal as well as from a physical point of view. So far, numerous qualitative and quantitative tests have been performed, and not a single test on the dualities has ever failed!
