 ===== Notes =====
-Put extra comments here (this section is optional)
+  * It's sometimes argued that conditional flows saves one element (the gateway) and hence makes the diagram simpler. This argument is hardly acceptable because the gateway adds value to the diagram by making process execution logic clear.
+  * Conditional flows outgoing from an activity are idependent, hence the inclusive gateway in the "How to" diagram above.
