"More Rules Make the System Smarter"
Captions available
The idea
Adding rules adds conclusions, not competence — each new rule multiplies interactions, widens the vocabulary to keep consistent, and adds a place for exceptions to hide.
In practice
The first hundred rules are cheap; the next thousand fight each other — the expert-systems industry learned the curve as a cost.
Where people slip
Contrast constraints, where each rule powered deletions: these rules only ever add — the asymmetry is exact.
