The second way computers function to streamline the preparation of cross sections is to allow the geologist to enter and manipulate one's own interpretations. This capability is especially useful when dealing with discontinuities such as faults that are not handled well by mathematical algorithms. However, a pitfall here is the indiscriminate application of personal interpretation or opinion. If one's interpretation disagrees with that made by the computer, it is important to discover why the two interpretations differ.
