For example, let's say we give the statement "Foobars like to be globbed" a truth value of 0.8 . I would interpret this as either  "80% of foobars like to be globbed" or "There is 80% certainty that all foobars like to be globbed" or "A typical foobar, if asked to express its liking for being globbed on a scale from 0 to 1, would give an answer of 0.8" or some combination of these, all of which are simple true/false statements. co'o mi'e robin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 out of 3 have it and they don't know it.
