The ideas of the Brueckner--Bethe hole-line expansion are briefly outlined. Four practical tests of its validity are formulated. These tests are applied to recent numerical results for the central potential v/sub 2/ and the semirealistic potential v/sub 6/ (Reid), which contains a tensor force but no spin-orbit force. The results are consistent with the validity of the hole-line expansion. The Brueckner--Bethe results are also consistent, within uncertainties of order 3 MeV, with variational results. 34 references.
