MHD versus kinetic approach. Identification of a test bed.
Both approaches are ok as long as one is aware of the limitations.
Higher moments ignored in the MHD approximation.
Particle distributions on ms time scales needed to verify kinetic theory.
There are lots of experimental data and lots of missing experimental data.
Models for understanding versus models for predictions.
MHD versus kinetic in empirical modeling.
