Abstract
We propose a method that involves quantities independent of strong int eraction phases to test the factorization model in D --> pipi and KKBA R decays. The method allows us to conclude that the factorization mode l correctly predicts \A2pipi\, overestimates \A0pipi\ and \A1KKBAR\, a nd underestimates \A0KKBAR\. We rule out the Penguin mechanism as the solution to the disagreement between theory and experiment. We believe inelastic final state interactions are responsible for bridging the g ap between theory and experiment.
