Hi Henry, I think that the biggest difference between jig and dissect is that jig mirrors the J text display, whereas dissect deconstructs the J sentence to give insight into the construction of the result. In short, dissect does a great deal more than jig. Jig is just an interface to the final result.
If jig is a butter knife, then dissect is a Swiss Army knife. In the wilderness I would want dissect, at the table jig can be useful.
