Speaking of fuzzy logic, can anyone post pros/cons to this technique?
I've heard that it's a good way to represent "partial ownership" of 
elements of a set.  I've also heard that it's nothing more than probability
theory (the rebuttal to this is that it's really more like "possibility
theory").

The best explication of it I heard may be that it's a "user friendly"
probability theory.  However, if you look at the math at first it's hard
to see why!

Comments??
