The rubbish "What Not How" is chiefly concered with a hypothetical research program that would go beyond their 'truly relational' malarkey. Declarative programming paradise so to speak. Its pure fantasy...and the book is not even up to the standards of pop science junk such as Brian Greene's 'String Theory' fantasies. Its really nothing more than a marketing brochure for the vendor named Versata which was trying to capitalize on the tech stock mania with some hopelessly naive tool probably based on rehashed ideas from the days of expert systems.
