This reminds me a lot of the program which made the fortune of one of
the characters in the book Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency. It
was an AI program that, given a desired conclusion, could come up with a
series of plausable-sounding logical steps to show that it was a sound
one. Supposedly the DoD bought the whole project out and used it to help
acquire SDI funding from Congress. :-)
