Abstract: Several studies about complexity of NMR showed that
inferring in non-monotonic knowledge bases is significantly
harder than reasoning in monotonic ones. This
contrasts with the general idea that NMR can be used
to make knowledge representation and reasoning simpler,
not harder. In this paper we show that, to
some extent, NMR has fulfilled its goal. In particular
we prove that circumscription allows for more compact
and natural representation of knowledge. Results
