A very pertinent and realistic advice from Geoff (only too moderately 
formulated).
Computer based expert systems germinating everywhere, but largely 
perpetuating outdated fuss. - Such projects will make more sense as 
the final stage after true, experienced and still brained human experts 
have put together large representative revisions and monographs. But 
that's less fashionable...
