Subject: Conspiracy-Number Searching question

Author: Bruce Cleaver

Any of you savants out there who can take a stab at this question, I'd
appreciate it.

I recently read a Hans Berliner paper on his B* search algorithm, and he
mentioned Conspiracy-number searching.  In his opinion, the reason CN seaching
has failed is that the computer has to do a breadth first search of
conspiracies, with no idea of what will break a particular conspiracy, or which
one is easiest to break.

Can anyone elucidate a little further on this idea?  Any other opinions as to
why it doesn't live up to its promise?

Thanks in advance...

Bruce
