 JB> Fuzziness has a formal name in science: multivalence. 
 JB> The opposite of fuzziness is BIVALENCE or TWO-valuedness. 
I haven't seem a workable finite multi-valued propositional calculus. have

fuzzy set theory didn't use the notion of probability, it used the notion of 
degree of inclusion, like light pink, pink, light red, red.
... The double standard:  are not two better than one?
