Your move has the unpleasnat effect that the truth value of "X is tall" never reaches 1 (have to leave room for someone taller coming along) -- and maybe not 0 neither. Even with fuzzy values, which meet your problem somewhat. As a practical matter, we generally do draw lines on these issues and, if further distinctions are needed, shift to modifiers like "very," with a longer 0 and a shorter 1 and a shallower incline. |
