3. Truth / A. Truth Problems / 6. Verisimilitude

22317	Truth does not admit of more and less [Frege]
	Full Idea: What is only half true is untrue. Truth does not admit of more and less.
	From: Gottlob Frege (works [1890], CP 353), quoted by Michael Potter - The Rise of Analytic Philosophy 1879-1930 48 'Truth'
	A reaction: What about a measurement which is accurate to three decimal places? Maybe being 'close to' the truth is not the same as being 'more' true. The truth about a distance between two points is unknowable?
