Hi Ilya,

I am not yet convinced logical counterfactuals are "the right approach."

Me neither. Have you seen my post about common mistakes? To me it seems more productive and more fun to explore the implications of an idea without worrying if it's the right approach.

I like "breadth first search" or more precisely "iterative deepening" better than "depth first search."

(DFS is not guaranteed to find the optimal solution, after all!)
