The point is of course that Prolog is simple in places where one
expects it to be complex, and vice versa.
A fear years ago, the NFL put out a magazine called 'PROLOG' that
described the players and teams of the upcoming professional football
season. On the front cover was a picture of Jerry Rice flying through
the air at break-neck speed, trying to catch an odd shaped ball, just
as someone who was real big was about to hit him real hard. That has
always seemed somewhat appropriate to me.
