Running Head : Alleged Misconceptions about Fuzzy Logic
نویسنده
چکیده
(Entemann 2002) defends fuzzy logic by pointing to what he calls 'misconceptions' concerning fuzzy logic. However, some of these 'misconceptions' are in fact truths, and it is Entemann who has the misconceptions. The present article points to mistakes made by Entemann in three different areas. It closes with a discussion of what sort of general considerations it would take to motivate fuzzy logic.

I will not discuss here the alleged equivalence between fuzzy and two-valued logic; by choosing criteria established for the more restricted two-valued formalism, Elkan does not have a suitable framework for a meaningful comparison. To point out prerequisites for the practical usefulness of knowledge representation formalisms, I will focus on the role of fuzzy logic in linking two formally inco...

Cladograms are tree-like structures devised by evolutionary biologists for conveying patterns of shared ancestry among biological kinds. These representations have become highly popular in science textbooks and science museums, yet most non-biologists have difficulty reading them. Here, I discuss how those difficulties stem from common misconceptions about evolution— misconceptions reinforced n...
