[mod.ai] Value of explanation facility in expert systems

m06242%mwvm@MITRE.ARPA.UUCP (03/04/87)

 In considering the value of an explanation facility to an expert
 system, it is worthwhile to address the possible role of the system as
 a training facility.  The student who follows the reasoning process is
 being led through the analytical structure devised by the systems
 builders.  Since courtesy requires us to assume they chose a rational,
 efficient structure, the student can see an efficient approach to the
 problem.
