I agree, and this is why I would like to start experimenting with a  
wildly relationship based set of data. I need to do that to see what  
the result would be if we have:

A expresses B
C expresses B
D expresses A
D expresses B

I need to see it with actual bib data, because my imagination is  
insufficient to do it abstractly. The question becomes: what can we  
infer from the relationships? How messy can they get before things  
fall apart? Are there relationships that are more *right* than others?
