I'm personally fond of the symbolic approach - I think it is more direct and easier to explain what is meant. It's harder to align people to a numerical system, I would think, and also provides a false sense of precision. Explanations are easier to understand as well: "2 sources thought t

Hi Matt -- Another way of increasing the amount of trust is to provide explanations, in English, automatically derived from the proofs that an agent carries out. A serendipitous feature is that the explanations start out with headlines, and then go progressively into finer details. This aspect i
