Dr. Rapaport

Could you explain why we need the "build" command in

(describe (deduce agent John act believe
                  object (build object Clyde ability fly)))

(see http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/sneps/Tutorial/node43.html).

Aren't we just asking a question (and not telling Cassie to create a new
node)?
