So the only reason it's not natural for humans is that current implementations of spreadsheets have issues with implicit rules? I don't think that's a failure

I don't think that's a failure of the model but merely of the implementation. We can fix that. The model is right.
- csours 10y agoWe solve the problems of implicit rules by adding UI and UX so that the rules become explicit. Anything that solves the problem of implicit rules in spreadsheets is a UI or UX solution. The question is, what is the best UI or UX solution? My position is that the best UX is not a spreadsheet. To your point, it is possible that there is an acceptable UI or UX based on spreadsheets. The next question would be, how much more difficult is it to create human driven spreadsheets than to create a classic UX solution (something like an input wizard)?
