Awright. So if I understand you correctly, you just explained (concisely, and in an easy-to-follow format) how a recommendation engine works. What's different here is that the paper is discussing a justification engine, which if I'm following along correctly, is kind of the equivalent of working backwards.

Am I close?

So since "working backwards" is a stupidly-wrong analogy, what makes the "justification engine" so much harder than the recommendation engine, and what's the cleverness here? Because if I'm prepped, I might just understand instead of feeling like my knuckles are hairy.
