What’s the benefit of using decisions trees over a table here? It seems to me it just forces you to keep clarifying about the impression they give that the second decision happens after the first and in knowledge of the first. Which was true last time you used decision trees (the chess example) so if anyone actually new to these ideas and needing to think about them is reading this, they might find that confusing.
I chose to use trees to keep it consistent with the previous representation and to show the logical painfully clearly at each step. I figured that without actually showing how at each step you could eliminate some options as impossible, it would be harder for newbies to understand.
