Buffers are reserves of a sort, but are based on protecting the project constraints. They are not generic, and are not random. They are placed in specific threads to protect constrained resources, the critical path, or whatever it is that can hurt your schedule the most. If you protect the constraints, then you protect the project.
Dr. Goldratt, the creator of Critical Chain project management, author of The Goal, and founder of the Theory of Constraints (TOC), will be speaking on Critical Chain & TOC as it relates to Project Management on Nov 13, 2007 in Charleston, SC.
