Over the past thirty years, this idea has beclouded research in the field. After examining certain events more closely, the explosion community has begun to wake from a long dogmatic slumber. Previously, the cosmic firework-makers loved to see round supernovas, as beautiful as fruit, whilst in reality it seems that they may be pierced by jets and beams, like balls of wool with knitting needles through them. 

Except in the most structured cases, the situation a decision maker faces can be very dynamic, with information needs arising unexpectedly and changing more rapidly than ISs can be economically revised to produce new kinds of reports. Even when the newly needed information exists in a set of predefined reports, it may be a needle in the haystack, distributed across several reports, or presented in a way not particularly helpful to the decision maker. It may be incomplete or unfocused or require some value-added processing. In contrast, the ideal of a decision support system (DSS) is to provide focused, complete, fully processed knowledge in the desired presentation format.
