Abstract
We discuss a concrete example of the use of the Dempster rule presented by Weichselberger and Pohlmann15 and show how their approach has to be modified to yield an intuitively adequate result. At the end we mention a possibility of a similar modification of their approach to MYCIN-like systems.Keywords
