Perhaps, "thinness" would be a better word. I mean, what exactly is driving your "thus"? Graphic vs. Tree? (can't trees be visualized?) Or that something *originated* "in the AI domain" (but you offer no substantive analysis of the troublesome features)? And what happened to the problems of logic(s)? Oh well, mailing lists, y'know. Cheers, Bijan.
