16458	Semantic vagueness involves alternative and equal precisifications of the language [Lewis]
	Full Idea: If vagueness is semantic indeterminacy, then wherever we have vague statements, we have several alternative precisifications of the vague language involved, all with equal claims of being 'intended'.
	From: David Lewis (Vague Identity: Evans misunderstood [1988], p.318)
