REMARKS

We have always felt that the careful classification of the ways in which events can overlap is unnecessary for almost all common sense reasoning. We think this article shows it. Moreover, it is also usually unnecessary to combine concurrent events into compound events as do Gelfond, Lifschitz and Rabinov [GLR91].
