Sounds like garbage to me. Intuition has an interesting property not shared by self respecting logics (outside of AI, that is) -- it can be dead wrong, and frequently is. I have similar reservations about a previous posting about including diagrams in logic. Unless these diagrams can mislead us into incorrect conclusions, they certainly don't capture the spirit of true mathematical diagrams, and I can't see how they'll offer any real advance over old fashioned logics. -Aaron Watters
