| Deep Blue was not an expert system, but rather it was a canonical
| example of GOFAI's heuristic search approach advocated by Simon
| and Newell. Maybe it is categorized as such because it
| incorporated a lot of human knowledge in the evaluation function?
| But then why is Brooks shown in the same category in the figure?
| His work was a _reaction to_ expert systems, built to show that
| you can achieve intelligent behavior _without_ knowledge, in a
| purely reactionary fashion.
