Do you regard all later commentaries and opinions regarding the Buddha's teachings unnecessary elaborations?

No, why would I ?....and I haven't read or heard them all anyway, so that's rather a strange question !

However, anything that I do read or hear that seems a huge departure from the Buddha's teachings in the Pali Canon and which doesn't make good sense to me regarding my practice these days, I set aside as irrelevant to my own personal needs.

How about you ?
