Abstract
Since before the last solar maximum, theoretical and to some extent observational, flare physics were dominated by beam driven chromospheric evaporation models. Comparisons between theoretical predictions and observations from soft and hard X-ray radiations point to major model inconsistencies. An account of some of the inconsistencies as well as the requirements for a better soft X-ray model are presented.
