Do pro&#x2F;con trees actually work in real life? I played with something like this when using Kialo for a while, and my impression was that this technique doesn&#x27;t help much. Shoehorning everything into a pro or con is one thing, duplication of points in many places in a tree is another.<p>I abandoned Kialo with a conclusion that pro&#x2F;con trees don&#x27;t map well to reality; we need <i>graphs</i> of facts and their relationships.<p>(Also, my gut feeling is that when you&#x27;re talking about &quot;arguments&quot; instead of &quot;facts&quot;, &quot;evidence&quot; and probabilities, you&#x27;re in business of convincing, not truth seeking).<p>But that&#x27;s not to diss this project. As an implementation of pro&#x2F;con trees it&#x27;s excellent, and I&#x27;d prefer typing in this language a millon times more than clicking around Kialo.
