why AQAL?

I am interested at the moment in a question which is something like 'why AQAL?' or 'what's so great about AQAL?' [especially in the applied sense].

To get the question even more focused I want to ask “what does AQAL bring to the table for one who is pursuing Religious Contemplation? [Christian, Buddhist, Sufi etc.]”

What for you are the MOST relevant points to AQAL? Giving the world of Form depth and evolution? Teasing apart the differences between a teachers' relative claims couched AS the dharma and the expression of Dharma through relative means? Moving from a highly 'I-centric' practice such as zazen to include the 'miracle of the we' or the masculine and femminine types? [it seems Zen can be unconsciously hyper-masculine]

Once we have studied a cognitive framework that helps us make these distinctions how does this help us in our life?
