Abstract
In their useful article "Pitfalls in Prolog Programming", Ng and Ma [1] discuss some ways that novice programmers can be confused while learning Prolog. They suggest that the confusions result from certain properties of Prolog, in particular the way that it diverges from the "ideal" of programming in pure logic. In fact, I suggest that Ng and Ma are attributing to Prolog powers that it simply does not have, and that confusions are usually the result of the novice's misplaced confidence in his abilities to reason about programs.
