I'm new to AI and trying to understand forward chaining.   
      
   I don't understand why we need conflict resolution.   
      
   Why is it so important to fire only one rule per cycle?   
   Why can't we fire 2 or 3 rules from the conflict set per cycle?   
   Or even all of them?   
      
   Is this only an efficiency issue or (most likely) am I missing   
   something?
