Experiments show, however, that levels of consistency amongst human link-creators---in common with those historically observed amongst human indexers---are generally low and variable, and that the effectiveness of retrieval from manually-constructed hypertexts can be expected to suffer as a result. This finding motivates further comparison both of manual and of automatic methods of link creation.
