    The document discusses two criticisms made by Anki of SuperMemo's approach to cloze deletions. For the first criticism about intuitiveness: SuperMemo marks clozed words in the original text, and it is easy to return to the separate card just created with keyboard shortcuts. While it is true the original text must be deleted after creating clozes, this can be done with a single keystroke and SuperMemo will also prompt the user to do so.
