Advantages over expert systems
==============================

        The one thing common to all the "exotic" computer approaches --
        operations research, artificial intelligence, expert system, neural
        networks, and hypertext -- are decision trees.

        But, only in hypertext are the deicision trees visible, understandable,
        and easily modifiable by any user.  The benefits of this are:

           (1)  Hypertext uses intuitive classifications
           (2)  Hypertext users try alternate paths to check answer stability
           (3)  Hypertext construction requires only a word processor
           (4)  Hypertext menus easily represent the "rules of experts"
           (5)  Hypertext systems are much faster to build
           (6)  Hypertext users manually make choices -- others are automatic
           (7)  Hypertext delivers knowledge -- others produce answers
           (8)  Hypertext systems can be much larger than other technologies
