Several reasons: 1. A search narrative provides provides an excellent diagnostic tool for a knowledge based program like Symbolic. At the very least, it can show what the search was doing immediately prior to a hang or crash. 2. As the program is intended to be psychologically realistic, the natural language search narrative can be shown to a sufficiently skilled human player for review. The human can assist with improving Symbolic by providing a critique of the analysis without having to understand the program's internals. 3. The HTML version of the search narrative, compared with the plain text version, can be more easily viewed (e.g., better diagrams and font size control). 4. The search narrative proves that the program really is a cognitive searcher and not a traditional A/B searcher in disguise. 5. It is possible to use the search narrative in a form of post-search automated machine learning by having a stronger program analyze various decision points in the narrative and reporting back less than optimal choices.
