Abstract
We have two aims here: First, to discuss some basic principles underlying different approaches to Defeasible Inheritance; second, to examine problems of these approaches as they already appear in quite simple diagrams. We build upon, but go beyond, the discussion in the joint paper of Touretzky, Horty, and Thomason: A Clash of Intuitions.
