This is a statement about the nature of rules engines in general. Rules<br>
engines are made up of human readable rules, as opposed to say a neural<br>
network where the knowledge isn't explicitly represented (it's a big black<br>
box of maths). A rules engine is symbolic, a neural network sub-symbolic. A<br>
neural network can give you an answer, but not a justification of why.<br>
People like rules engines because (when done properly) they can see why it<br>
has given the answer it has given.<br>
<br>
To answer your question, to get a explanation of what the rules engine did,<br>
you could insert a logging object as a global into your rules session and<br>
then add a log statement in the conclusion of each rule.<br>
