10275	A blurry border is still a border [Shapiro]
	Full Idea: A blurry border is still a border.
	From: Stewart Shapiro (Philosophy of Mathematics [1997], 8.3)
	A reaction: This remark deserves to be quoted in almost every area of philosophy, against those who attack a concept by focusing on its vague edges. Philosophers should focus on central cases, not borderline cases (though the latter may be of interest).
